Do you think we will lose our wild dingo ?

October 8, 2017 by Crossroads Dingo Rescue   No comments   Filed Under: Dingo Diary

Do you think we will lose our wild dingo ?
Do you believe he still has the tenacity to endure a full on eradication plan ?
Do you think by enlarging height and length of dingo fence this will impinge not only on the dingo but on all wild life migrating for food and indeed dingo food sustainability ?
Do you think domestic breeding and gene manipulation is going to save our dingo ?
Do you prefer to have domestic effigies of a dingo in your house on your beds , in preference to the privilege of having our wild dingo free for future generations to see him as he should be ?
Why do I ask these questions ? Because if people don’t take a stand now , if they don’t stop breeding ,if they don’t start realising the impact of domestic breeding and start understanding the devastating out come on this country with out her apex predator , the ripple effect on the enviroment from such a loss .
Are you aware Canberra is being constantly petitioned by owners of large stations ?
Are you aware they plan to eradicate remove every last dingo ?
Are you aware one station drops 30 to 40 thousands baits at any given time ?
Are you aware that a specific station owner decided he was going to use a different poison than 1080 based on his findings of eagles and all other species of wild life found dead having fed on dead carcass of dingoes ? The poison he now chooses does not continue to contaminate enviroment and stops with targeted animal ( as I’m informed ) but … do these other species know not to eat, ingest this new poison?

In a very recent debate – discussion with a very informed person associated with a specific station ,
I was informed this station has gone from a sheep station now cattle station, from 30 thousand sheep 5 thousand sheep was lost to dogs , ( not my words ) , sadly the dingo is regarded as a wild dog , however these dogs are pit bull cross and Shepherd and every other mixture.
Do you understand the impact these animals have on farmers and station owners and the enviroment plus native animals ? Including our dingo . No mitigating circumstances , no legal argument no reprieve for the dingo, all are just wild dogs
This feral dog problem is due to people dumping dogs in remote areas , and the feral dogs are many
. One has to empathise and understand the plight of the land owner .
But one would appreciate the land owner showing empathy and understanding for our indigenous apex predator , but alas he does not .
So I can assure you there is a real and vigilant war now fast becoming a tsanumi happening on our dingo , I personally fear for the future of our dingo , there is no future , they are going to eradicate every last dingo .
No debate no remission .
This domestic breeding is inciting the land owners , it is giving them cause and drive to kill every last dingo , do you still believe domestic haphazard breeding is conservation ? Will there genetically manufacturer new breed domestic dingoes replace our pure untouched wild dingo, No, he will not, but he will keep your feet warm at night . You have got your look like dingo dogs .
As pointed out with reference to arana , Petite small fine boned dingo , her diet would consist of lizards grubs roots small mammals , she could not physically pull down a lamb , much less a full grown Sheep and far less a calf , yet her variety of dingo will go by the by as all will .
, Pilbara not much bigger than arana , could indeed do damage if inclined, if no sustainable food due to constant poisoning and shooting of his food source .
But a new threat is the alpine dingo bigger animal more confident animal now being dumped in remote areas , not his DNA genetic origins.
The dingo fence is going to be bigger ,higher they are going to separate divide and conquer the dingo
They will fight in every corner of every government dept to bring to pass and kill all and every dingo
You think I fantasize and fear monger , over embellish , I have have received this from the horses mouth in a manner of speaking , the dingo now faces the fight of his life for his life .
Whilst many sit in comfortable lounge rooms behind a screen portraying knowledge you do not have , our dingo will die due to such ignorance and arrogance .
Save the last wild dingo will be a movement soon underway, because that’s all we will have .

Blood was sent for DNA

October 7, 2017 by Crossroads Dingo Rescue   No comments   Filed Under: arana, Dingo Diary, pilbara, Pindan

We received some interesting news and results on the pilbara arana and pindan ,
Blood was sent for DNA , after 3 months we were informed the blood was degraded , we then did mouth swabs , believing these too had been misplaced .
However whilst I have reservations on mouth saliva as being accurate , the findings are ,
Pilbara is pure dingo , Arana is pure . Pindan appears to be in a slightly grey area . Which is confusing considering where and who the breeders are .
We will again arrange for blood , although difficult due to having to sedate the animals , but I would rather have an unquestionable with out doubt result .
It is very important to have very accurate results when one is determined to prove we have pure dingo in the wild .
Yet of course it is unfortunate to our knowledge there is no ancient dingo remains to be tested

On the subject debate on the dingo as a pet

October 5, 2017 by Crossroads Dingo Rescue   No comments   Filed Under: Dingo Diary

On the subject debate on the dingo as a pet .
Over a period of 18 months of 10 dingoes that were brought here .hoping i would take them .
No longer wanted for no more no less than those who chose to live with them could not cope .
ages between 6 months to 6 years . of that 10 .7 were on mind altering drugs . prozac being a favourite .endep and endone .anti psychotic drugs . these animal were unable to focus. were more unpredictable and suffering high anxiery .feeling defenseless making them more defensive .
for those of us who have had experience with these drugs depending on your ability to cope with such and for what purpose you were prescribed this. Endep and endone are usually used for extreme pain . in my case i was unable to think or make decisions. However they helped with the pain.but it was the one and only time i ever gave thought to self destruction
.these drugs are addictive . I ceased and refuses to use them and I suffered over 2 weeks of withdraw .
To put an animal on such drugs is horrendous. (And yes animals suffer with depression and i have for short term under vet advice treated dogs for depression ) however we are talking dingoes wild primitive animals and the reason they are on this medication is due to people not coping with dingo behaviour and this is an out. keep the animal sedated .
what damage is done .?
I refused to take in a drug dependant dingo . i refuse to have to work at decreasing the doses to wean them off this dependancy and I refuse to deal with the aftermath of such dependancy unsure of the long term effect .why are these animals forced into compliance if indeed they make good pets ?
Has not enough humiliating and debased actions been brought upon them ?
Live with a dingo if that is your choice but on behalf of the dingo do your research .forcing these animals to comply by any means other than respect and understanding is cruelty .
I was asked to assist with rhe rehome of a 13 month old dingo ( not in my care )
The person who had this animal wanted to know why they cant breed them tame ?
I laugh because thats exactly what they have been attempting for over 40 years and still they havent realised his genetics go back thousands of years . they are not designed to be pets they are predators . and all get on a band wagon of Australia’s apex predator yet treat him with less respect than a rabbid dog .
They just love rhe wild spirit they say . but spend 99 % of the time breaking him .
resetting they call it .forcing him into confrontation then holding him down to prove what ? That you are superior. Human nature. if you dont understand you have to control break or eradicate
Implants to control testesterone . no concern for the effects this may have on a wild animal . females forced to wear pants . is this the future for our Apex predator.
He is either Australia’s top predator or he is no more than a house dog .
We truly have pure dingoes in the wild surely time spent breaking dingoes for domestic ego and pleasure would be better spent saving our wild dingo .

“Dingoes over dogs “. Do they make good pets ?

October 4, 2017 by Crossroads Dingo Rescue   No comments   Filed Under: Dingo Diary

There is some interest and concern regarding the channel nine news segment , “Dingoes over dogs “.
Do they make good pets ?
It is my opinion this attitude may well further endanger our dingo, the content of this information is very misleading, very irresponsible, certainly at its best it creates a false image ,at its worse it ensures the dingo is just a dog leaving him open for abuse .
Unsuspecting people will purchase or attempt to re home a dingo expecting dog like behaviour
a high fence is not knowledge enough to coexist with a dingo .
A dangerous situation can occur due to ignorance , basing an opinion on a dingo being a good pet is foolhardy , reducing the necessity for education and much required research .
The mind set of convincing people the dingo makes a good pet in a effort to have the dingo accepted is ridiculous.
He is a wild animal with thousands of years of primitive hardwired survival skills, high prey drive ,no nonsense doesnt suffer fools, refusal to obey ,.
you can co exist , but respect and understanding is foremost , never take for granted your relationship , it’s apt to change in a second,
never get over confident, never take for granted, always supervise, never demand always request , aggression begets aggression.
Perhaps those who have dropped dingoes here might explain the reasons for why ,
can’t contain
Can’t control
Killed my cat
Is attempting to kill my dog
Has bitten or can’t trust with kids
Thousands of damage done to house .
Refuses to come on re call , and on and on it goes .
Why .?….because they are not pets ,can not be owned , are not dogs .
Dingoes do not have behaviour problems people have problems with dingo behavior ,
do your research , and not for one minute think dingoes make good pets .
They can be a great companion with understanding patience and knowledge, never forget they are wild .

We actually went out yesterday

October 1, 2017 by Crossroads Dingo Rescue   No comments   Filed Under: Dingo Diary, Jedda, Nowra, oldgirl, Pindan

We actually went out yesterday . lessons learned .do not leave home .dingoes dont like it when you go out .
Pindan walks his crate all around the house . got hold of 2 of warrens work jackets and absolutely tore them to shreds .
But wait he got out of crate . he then ran rampant around the house .he tipped over the bucket full of water and then dragged the mop around . flowers that were given to me . oh yeah dingoes like flowers .the good thing is he didnt turn the stove on .
There is more . jedda tore up the doona in the bedroom . old girl had ran amok in the lounge room .
we took wee Nowra with us . she had a good time met new folk and now has an aunty and uncle .she slept all the way home . but then those confounded nocturnal genes kicked in and she wanted to play all night . all quiet on the home front today .
