Dingoes: How dangerous are they?


 

A new inquest is being launched into the death of a baby who disappeared in 1980 from an Australian camping site. Her parents insist she was killed by a dingo, but polls show some Australians are unconvinced. So how dangerous are the animals?

It is the fourth inquest into the world-famous case of nine-week-old Azaria Chamberlain, which has haunted Australia for 31 years, and her parents hope it will be the last.

Lindy Chamberlain was convicted of murdering her daughter in 1982. Michael, her now former husband, was convicted of being an accessory. Both were later cleared after new evidence emerged supporting their story.

Thousands of People Filled Herriman High School's Auditorium to Pay Tribute to Dingo, A K-9 killed in the Line of Duty


Herriman, Utah - Thousands of people filled Herriman High School's auditorium Saturday to pay tribute to Dingo, the 7 year old K-9 killed in the line of duty June 6, 2017.

“Dingo was so much more than just a dog to me. He was my fishing buddy, my confidant, my constant companion, my ever loyal partner, and my protector," said Chad Reyes, Dingo's handler. “I owe it to my partner, my hero, and the best friend I’ll ever have.”

Reyes and Dingo were tracking down a violent fugitive earlier this month when he was shot and killed.

“There’s no question in my mind that Dingo saved my life on two occasions,” Reyes said. “In the early morning hours of July 6, he ensured once again I’d go home to my children. Only this time, without him.”

The entire Reyes family had a special bond with Dingo.

“When I needed ears to listen without judgment, a hug, and a soft lick on my hand, or a warrior to defend me from harm, he always saw me through.”

As one of his final acts in office, Sheriff Jim Winder promoted Reyes to lieutenant.

"This is my last opportunity and I felt it really important to recognize Chad. Also to bring comfort to his family."

Top Dogs: Australian Predators Can Provide 24-7 Feral Cat Control


Feral cats are devastating our wildlife, so we need a long-term, sustainable solution. This is where Australia's natural predators come in.

A few moments on the internet will reveal that, as companion animals, cats are rivalled only by dogs. Our love affair with them is hardly surprising: they are elegant, graceful and affectionate animals. But they are also highly adaptable and successful hunters. Sadly our soft spot for them brings with it disastrous consequences for smaller wildlife species, particularly mammals, birds and reptiles.
