Dingoes could save natives
11 Jul 2007
At a biodiversity and extinction conference yesterday Professor Chris Dickman said that dingoes should be reintroduced into NSW to help protect native animals from feral dogs, foxes and cats. He also suggested that farmers would be able to protect their stock from the dingoes by using "watch animals" such as donkeys, llamas and alpacas. US farmers already use watch animals to guard their herds from wolves and coyotes. Professor Dickman said that sheep farming should be removed from 15 per cent of the country where conditions were so poor that the land would be "eaten down to the bedrock".
