You should have seen all the hippies standing up for her. Some people just have no appreciation for nature and want to turn everything into a petting zoo.

....and meanwhile, the rest of the story is:

Was that you misrepresenting the true position by referring to only half the story, freediver?

Guess who ends up paying her fine ... ?

He's already shedding tears about it outside the court. He can see his pension savings going to hell in a basket because of his darling daughter.

Mind you, as a court sentence for 8 years in prison really means a sentence of about four-and-a-half years, she/he really only has to pay about $25thou. Cool

***

The dingoes were obviously brought to Fraser Island by humans at some time, and are not native to that environment. Illegal boat-canines. They should all be rounded up and shipped off to the mainland so the island can be repopulated with some of Australia's more endangered little animals that are being decimated by feral cats and dogs.

the facts are herb Dingoes are not your every day dog....and Mr bloody Average should know that...

'Every day' feral dogs in packs are probably a lot more dangerous.

cods wrote on Oct 27^th, 2014 at 9:43am:

they are a wild animal...and it is the feeding of them that brings them into contact with humans..

Not always. They'll go for small children as a food source just like some of our dangerous breed of dogs do.

cods wrote on Oct 27^th, 2014 at 9:43am:

I am sure your terrifying experience is memorable but honestly you cannot compare the two

Wrong.

Anyone looking weak, small, injured, alone, helpless, will attract canines as a pack looking for a likely meal.

Even cowardly coyotes will work up the courage to start nipping at you with increasing ferocity if you happen to be trapped in the wilderness by an upturned car or beach-buggy, or whatever. I've seen the doco.

for goodness sake.. do you really thing Fraser Island would a be a holiday resort if the dingoes were starved and killed the visitors.??.. get real herb..

the people were jogging legs moving fast the animals thought that looks like fun..

the animal is not at fault

as for coyotes being cowardly that is so wrong...like the vultures we need them they clean up the garbage that is left by the fat cats....without them the world would be one great bag of maggots..

the only cowards I know of are the human ones.

Of course.

Do you really believe people would continue to swim at West Australia's beaches if there was an annual roll-call of people being shredded by toothy sharks?

Get real, codsie.

I have always aid a shark would have to come out of the tap to eat me....same with a croc...

I can read signs and I do my best to obey them...

DO NOT TOUCH I do find tempting...especially when I am looking at something beautiful that begs to be touched...like an amazing sculpture.

Just waiting for some idiot to begin calling for a cull, or removal.

They invariably do, when something like this occurs.

No, you aren't supposed to feed them. Yes, there are signs.

For this very reason.

No one was feeding them. They were jogging.

People do feed them. It's caused at least one fatal attack before, and was probably a factor in this one as well.

Not necessarily the case that THEY had food, but the dingoes don't know that... Sad

So the dingoes got angry because the joggers didn't have any food Kat? Cheesy

If you say so.

I don't recall either saying or implying any such thing.

It was just a spasticated post that I couldn't help but make a joke out of.
