Leave the Dingo alone

Michael Chamberlain, Azaria Chamberlain’s father, is seeking to have the ‘Dingo’ case reopened.

Azaria passed away in 1980, prompting Dr. Michael Chamberlain to alert the public about the predatory nature of Dingoes, which may threaten children in the future.

It’s essential to recognize that domestic breeds such as Rottweilers, Pit Bulls, and Staffordshire Terriers can often be as dangerous, if not more so, than Dingoes, largely due to irresponsible owners.

A slight digression: there ought to be regulations requiring owners of dangerous dogs to undergo training and registration before they can purchase a breed capable of harming small children.

Naturally, Dingoes don’t have owners since they are wild animals, a fact that I believe most would agree with. If you find yourself in their habitat, a Dingo encounter is possible. You might even meet a hungry Dingo; after all, it’s a wild creature.

In the event of a shark attack, surfing isn’t banned, despite everyone knowing the inherent dangers.

You’re simply in the habitat of the wildlife that surrounds you.

Moreover, there are packs of stray domestic dogs roaming the bush as well. When these dogs are hungry, they can be as fierce as my wife during her time of the month.

Dr. Chamberlain and his ex-wife, Lindy Chamberlain-Creighton, have documented ten significant Dingo attacks since their daughter vanished in 1980 at a campground near Uluru. Out of those ten incidents, two resulted in fatalities.

For anyone camping in Australia, be prepared to encounter various creatures, most of which may be venomous or dangerous. The Dingo is a wild animal native to the bush, similar to how lions inhabit the African plains.

You wouldn’t go camping on the African plains without a safety strategy, would you?
