Dingoes

Dingoes 'should be on banned list' - Asa Wahlquist
December 29, 2005
A decison allowing dingoes to be kept as pets has been blamed for the death of a two-year-old girl on the NSW south coast.
The toddler died after being mauled by her family's cross-bred dingo in her back yard near Eden on Monday.
Royal NSW Canine Council president Keith Irwin said yesterday dingo ownership should be restricted by a permit system that obliged owners to keep the dogs in child-proof enclosures and muzzled outside the yard.
"It is the same as the loss of Lindy Chamberlain's child," he said.
In 1980, nine-week-old Azaria Chamberlain disappeared from an Uluru camping site. Her mother, Lindy, insisted a dingo had taken her baby but she was convicted of the murder of Azaria in 1982. The conviction was quashed in 1988.
In 2001, dingoes killed a nine-year-old boy on Fraser Island.
