Dingoes ARE NOT domestic dogs, multiple lines of evidence demonstrate this. Dingoes ARE NOT ideal pets, they require extensive and special care. Dingoes ARE very important to First Nations peoples, and Australia's ecosystems. This proposed change is a very bad idea www.abc.net.au/news/2025-11...

Queensland considers changes that could see dingoes in dog parks
People could be allowed to keep dingoes as pets in Queensland under proposed changes to biosecurity regulations, but experts say the native animal is fundamentally different to domestic dogs.

Such a bitter pill that it's taken Jane Goodall's death to remind me of how many empathetic, amazing people there are in the world. The tributes are incredible. I am partially restored to where I was emotionally before the Reagan-Thatcher neoconservative project took hold in the '80s. Long ago.
