Queensland citizens draws to the attention of the House the diminishing number of dingoes on Fraser Island due to food restrictions, culling and ear tagging of pups under 6 months of age still being nursed, resulting in abandonment and starvation. Your petitioners therefore request the House that: • all destruction of Fraser Island dingoes cease immediately including destruction of problem animals under the age of 18 months; • hazing to cease; • tagging under 12 months of age to cease; • controlled random food drops; • the status of dingo be elevated from vulnerable to endangered; and • reports on culling and monitoring be made available to the public.
