They aren't wild. They're completely reliant on stupid humans for food. The ones around Eli creek and orchid beach have so much human interaction they might as well be domesticated dogs.
The information isn't working. The dingos are getting bolder, are not afraid of humans and when they don't get what they want (food) they become aggressive. They're also pack animals and extremely smart. They see one dingo successfully open an Esky/tent/get food from a human and it doesn't take long for the pack to think that that's a decent way to go about it.
Yes the tourists are stupid, but what's happened is that the dingoes now believe that every human is a food source. Those backpackers that fed the dingo and got away with it don't suffer the consequences of their actions, it's every human than comes after them.
The population is estimated to be between 100-200 (I think it's much higher than that) you can't seriously think that if one of these animals repeatedly attacks people that the animal should be protected?
When the recent dog attacks happened in Brisbane, everyone expects the dog to be put down. I have no idea why the same isn't applied to dingoes. The local indigenous leaders are in agreement as well.
Thunder for Lemmy is now on the Google app store. Best app available IMO
How the hell did we beat Melbourne?
An auto mall is obviously for someone with a lot more disposable income than myself. I thought the internet basically killed this style of retail

Courier Mail is the only news source I can find. I know people are touchy about news corp, so here's this instead.

Yep. Use mine regularly
This is the problem though. The ones hanging around the campsites aren't behaving as native animals.
For more than 30 years you'd be lucky to see one and if you did, it would slink off into the distance and go back to its natural environment. Those dingoes are special and should absolutely be left alone. The packs who are known to hang around high people areas are the problem. They aren't the same thing
