25.01.2022 Yeehaa, A great outcome by the EDO and their supporters. Prevention of major environmentally damaging threatened species communities and unknown how bad the negative consequences would have been to the GBR had these gone ahead

22.01.2022 Personal responsibility and public education is always better option than fencing and culling any species. Roaming aggressive dogs are more of a risk to public safety than crocodiles. Statics on Crocodile Attacks: 14 people attacked and killed by crocodiles since 1975 across all of Qld. Demographic attacked: Men aged between 25 and 45 years old fishing at night intoxicated in crocodile infested waters. ... The exceptions were an intoxicated woman back packer, an elderly lady that went swimming and drowned with dementor in Port Douglas, a lets not forget the drunk moron trying to get laid that jumped on one in Johnstone River and this guy. Statics on Dog Attacks: Are increasing in number on average 300/400 per year per Shire across Wet Tropics bio region much higher across State. Attacks are generally on children aged between 2- 14 years old on their face and neck leading to disfiguration & scaring. Occurring in the daylight hours when children are out playing in public spaces, beaches, parks, playgrounds, streets or back yards. This does not include people witnessing attacks on pets or wildlife which numbers over 500per year per Shire. Be more scared of dogs people.

18.01.2022 We need to urgently the threats to this living dinosaur. Slow down in cassowary crossing hotspots. Don't stop your vehicle this teaches cassowaries and their chicks that all cars will give them right of way and stop for them.... Don't feed this is like feeding McDonalds to a child it develops bad habits and lures them into danger. Control & fence your dogs. Please consider your well behaved dog teach birds that dogs are not a threat to cassowaries or their chicks, the next dog may not be so nice. Keep cassowaries deep in the forest were they belong K

17.01.2022 Do you have a feral pig problem? Or a roaming pig dog problem that could lead to a dangerous feral pest within our Wet Tropics Bioregion? Now is a great time to contact QLD Department of Agriculture & Fisheries Biosecurity & tell them your concerns about the damage feral pigs are doing to the understory and the secondary problem created by the illegal hunting with pig dogs within the rainforest. It is well researched that using dogs (in rainforest) to hunt pigs spread the ...pigs across the landscape also hunters generally only target the boars for trophies, this does not lead to effective reduction of pigs and the extensive pig problem. Trapping large numbers of pigs is a slow planned intentional project by multiple parties. By working with landholders and different agencies QPWS can capture and humanely dispose of up to 200 pigs in a single operation. When hunters enter the picture the operation is fouled. Trapping is proven to be much more effective. See more

16.01.2022 Dear Minister Steven Miles, I met with you several times in your role as Environment Minister & we discussed the need to create a central data base for dog attack victims. You commented that I was very solutions orientated which is why each time we met our meetings were longer and more detailed over view not just snap shot of issues. This is a reminder of one of our conversations you supported at the time.... Currently any dog attack is recorded on the victims private records this does not help us track the increase in number of attacks nor their severity. When we met I was the onsite manager of the cassowary hospital and we record NINE ENDANGERED CASSOWARIES in four months being mauled to death from irresponsible dog owners allowing their pets to roam. Not much has changed and we need the statics from medical reports to support our campaign to protect the public, pets, livestock and native wildlife from attacks and reduce The Department of Bio Security challenge to reduce the growing numbers of wild dogs across our state.

14.01.2022 Three dingoes on the 20 August 2020 - from the month's camera-trap tally. See: https://www.daintreerainforestfoundation.org/camera-traps-/

12.01.2022 Domesticated dogs hunt & menace for sport. Dingoes hunt and kill only for food. Dingoes are a family unit, dogs are a pack. Dingoes have small litters once per year. Dogs two large litters per year. Dingoes are a native species. Dogs are introduced.

12.01.2022 Thanks to Coalition of Australians Against 1080 Poison for their continued support for dingoes and banning 1080 poison!

03.01.2022 This little fella is a survivor of 1080 poison, to say he is lucky is well beyond an understatement. His mother and siblings will have died a horrifically painf...ul death that would have lasted hours. Emaciated and with organ troubles this little guy is the face for 1080 poison, he is a regular dingo, but take a good look at the toll this poison has had upon his growth and his little body. The dingo is this lands native apex predator. This is how we are treating them in 2020, they are listed as pests in every mainland state on private land and in most states are still targeted (directly) through trapping and 1080 poison campaigns inside public lands (National and State Parks) and (indirectly) through baiting of introduced animals such as foxes (one fox bait will kill a dingo of any size) and pigs/rabbits (secondary poisoning when a dingo eats the carcass of those animals, 1080 can remain in the carcass for over 75 days). Using such a volatile and heinously cruel poison as a wildlife 'management' tool in the year 2020, when we are aware of the torturous death it causes, is totally unacceptable. Our dingoes deserve better. See more
