These late night power walks are becoming more intense with Django and Wally
Or perhaps I’m getting less able. ( age over fitness )
Yep Wally is still here .
unceremoniously delivered here Jan 2019) no prelude or request to his unorthodox delivery, no assistance as was promised for his care.
In truth my first thought was to retaliate ,I was insulted and incited due to past abuse, insult from those who saw fit to drop him here, and this totally infuriated me .
More so now particually due to the intention of those
responsible for his untimely delivery here, now planing to continue to breed their own backyard breeding programs.
As in any misguided cult like groups high on the need for attention , with out foresight to the consequences .
They do not acknowledge their culpability or responsibility.
Resulting in more like Wally and the 14 others in our care ,( not including our 6 wild born ).
Those bred by dilusional people believing they are saving the dingo and with out doubt many will be seeking relocation due to the laxity with education and information
However it is not the fault of these unfortunate animals bred by back yard breeders without care or integrity selling hybrid dingo ( dog ) as pure .( and or pure ) the result remains the same and they are culpable
As is now becoming more notable
Wally was ( is ).a difficult young male 15 months old , when he arrived, with a unlikable disposition, albeit understandable given his history of abuse and violence .( as I was informed ,and obvious by his behaviour)
Sold as pure dingo.
Unfortunately ,and contrary
to his acclaimed pedigree he is alpine dingo dog cross.
Which is in its self deceptive and in his case has not been to his benefit along with the abuse and his confused cross genetic breeding, and no doubt inbreeding , he is somewhat prone to become defensive ( unnecessarily) if he thinks one is looking at him the wrong way, he is alert and more than capable of retaliation .
Sad really because below the surface of this bravardo is a gentle boy terribly misunderstood and the result of human error.
People whom themselves have issues, transferring their dissatisfied lives, angst and selfish dependencies on to the animal in their care .
Bad enough a dog having to endue human selfishness, cruelty , far worse for our dingo ( our apex predator ?)
He now becomes an extension of that treatment resulting in him becoming his own worst enemy.
How many are prepared to take on a broken dingo ?
Very few as is the case with many here .
Am I to make the ultimate distasteful decission ,go through the emotional upheaval and further financial stress to euthanize ?
I don’t feel it is my right or my responsibility to take the life of an animal which is a product of human greed, selfishness and ego.
In saying all of the above please take into consideration

Yes I have foolishly taken on the responsibility of these animals , albeit it is very difficult to refuse to assist an animal at 10 pm at night with a distraught person
Harder still when the animal is threatened with being taken out and shot
Difficult it is when we state we can’t help, to then get abuse .
We are not government funded, we do not receive grants .
We are appreciative of the assistance we have had.
Unfortunately we at times think we have enough in the kitty to buy material for new pens .
Again unfortunately we are then hit with a sick dingo requiring most of proceeds going towards vet accounts, ( currently Ballan is receiving treatment for severe eye infection ) extra food , other necessities when caring for a large number of dingoes .
This is what we deal with daily .
