"Dingo experts have said a decision to kill a 10-strong pack of the animals
linked with the death of Canadian tourist Piper James on K’gari could push the
island’s population towards extinction while doing little to protect humans.
The Queensland government revealed on Sunday it had already killed six of the
pack seen around the body of the 19-year-old in a move that has angered the
island’s traditional owners who have said they were not consulted.
On Saturday, James’s mother, Angela, told the
ABC that killing the dingoes
“is the last thing Piper would want”.
“She wouldn’t want anything done to [the dingoes]; they were there first. She
knew that,” she said."
