21.01.2022 Teddy Baby in show @ Spring Fair

14.01.2022 Teddy Baby in group Day 1 Spring Fair

09.01.2022 Teddy Baby pup in group at Campbelltown just now...He showed beautifully

04.01.2022 This mess has to be cleared up. The media loves the killer dingo story and yet again we have an incident on Fraser island where parents have endangered their ch...ildren. Dingoes DO NOT hunt people. There has been one attack where a person was killed by Dingoes and it was not to eat the victim but a retaliatory attack, yet again in that case the parents were at fault. In 2001 on Fraser island two young boys were seen throwing stones at and chasing Dingoes before one of them was bitten on his leg severely, the bite hit the main artery and tragically the boy did not survive. You can read the actual facts in the Azaria Chamberlain case and make your own mind up. I know what I believe after seeing the evidence. This recent event has too many inconsistencies, why were these people staying in this part of Fraser and sleeping with their caravan door open? Why was there no cries heard from the baby until it was outside? This tells me the baby was already outside when the dingo followed prey drive and grabbed him, I have seen first hand how dingoes hunt, I have seen them snap a running wallabies neck in an instant. If this was a hunt the result would be very very different. Time and time again on this island there is negative interactions between Dingoes and people because people do not respect that dingoes are predators, they kill other animals to eat them to survive, they are also opportunistic hunters, but to say they have orchestrated this event as a hunt is saying that they associate humans as prey, which in all my years of research and learning from experts and scientists and spending time with dingoes both domestic and wild, does not seem probable in the slightest. There has been ONE attack on humans that was fatal and that was not dingoes on a hunt. Now to talk about the very unnatural situation that is Fraser Island for dingoes. For as long as the Butchulla people have inhabited Fraser dingoes have been there living alongside them, as in most first peoples tribal societies the local dingoes were in two distinct groups, the wild living dingoes that lived independently of humans and the ones that chose to share camp with humans, camp dingoes. On Fraser, and the mainland for that matter as far as I know, and I've looked, there was no incidents ever of dingoes attacking and killing humans. In fact dingoes were prized companions as hunting partners and water diviners in the deserts and more importantly in reference to this case, they were used as bed warmers and protectors of the indigenous peoples children, including babies. In recent history on the island up until the mid 90s i have not found or heard evidence of one single attack of dingoes on humans. What happened in the 90s was the Queensland government as the QPWS Queensland Parks and Wildlife service took over management of the island from the forestry service. Most of Fraser Island came under the management of QPWS in 1991. "Active dingo management by QPWS began in 1992, with the first major cull of 16 dingoes occurring in 1994 (Williams 2002) and a further 35 dingoes were reportedly culled for scientific purposes in 1996 (Fleming et al. 2001; Williams 2002). Sporadic killing of dingoes deemed dangerous has continued since 1992 (Williams 2002; Allen et al. 2012, 2015; Right To Information (RTI) data from QPWS). In 1998, due to increasing reports of attacks on humans, a scientific evaluation and report was commissioned to guide management policy. The primary focus of this document was centred on human food subsidies and habituation, and recommended that ‘problem dingoes should be shot as a general rule’ (Corbett 1998). After the death of the boy in 2001, the QPWS argued again that dingo habituation and loss of natural fear towards humans was the cause of the boy’s death(Healy 2007). Specifically, the feeding of dingoes by humans was believed to be a primary cause of dingo habituation and aggression." 31 dingoes were shot as a result. There has been many more killed since, entire family groups are now gone forever and the current population groups are unknown. You can read the latest review of this management here https://www.academia.edu//Managing_dingoes_on_Fraser_Islan Now taking into account that dingoes are highly social and family codependent animals, we can summise that the heavy handed lethal control of these groups will have had a deep social and psychological impact. At least 82 Dingoes killed from 1994 to 2001, now take into account that Dingoes have been found to live to ages 13 with the average of 10 years old on the island, so in one generation at least 82 dingo family group members were killed. The population of Dingoes on the island today is estimated at 120. That is nearly half the entire population killed in less than ten years! What is the results of this? The natural family group structures have been destroyed so badly that we are now seeing the results of dingoes interbreeding within family groups. This tells us that their natural order and genetic viability gene pool on the island is destroyed. Now add to all of this the pressures of 700,000 uneducated tourists or more every year traipsing around their home ranges and kids and toddlers (who are prey size) playing and running around which kicks off dingoes prey drive, whether play or not, and we have a disaster waiting to happen. Hence where we are right now. There was no attacks 30 years ago. There has been massive slaughter campaigns by QPWS on dingoes since and there has been many people bitten. Do we need a rocket scientist to deduce the cause of these effects?
