Dr Woolaston, who studied the K’gari dingo problem for her PhD on human-wildlife conflict, said current dingo management actions were not working and dangerous attacks were increasing. She said more research was needed into potential solutions.<\/em><\/p>\n

There are alternative dingo management options that are often discounted because they do not fit within what we consider to be a \u2018natural heritage area\u2019. Some of those alternative options that have been raised by others include feeding stations and pup training. Whether or not they are a viable idea and an effective option remains to be seen, mostly because we don\u2019t fund research into these type of options because of our understanding of \u2018naturalness\u2019. Essentially, we impose a standard on the dingo, without considering what they need from us.<\/em><\/p>\n
