An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.
Topics may include Aussie plants and animals, environmental, farming, energy, and climate news and stories (mostly Aus specific), etc. New related communities will be split off when required, think like subcommunities that exist on that other platform.
Trigger Warning: Community contains mostly bad environmental news (not by choice!). Community may also feature stories about animal agriculture and/or meat. Until tagging is available, please be aware and click accordingly.

I'm in an area where they often have 1080 FOX POISON signs up warning everyone that they are baiting etc.
I often see dog owners with their dogs off the leash. I always tell them there are baits out. They just don't seem to care... smh...
~~We don't deserve dogs.~~ Dogs don't deserve us .... 😔
There is the counter studies that says almost all the dogs killed are dingos as well.
It's shit all round and mostly only benefits animal agriculture.
Just had a quick read of the dingo wikipedia article because I was under the impression that we didn’t have many pure dingos left. Apparently we do.
That is entirely the point. I’m not sure what you thought it was? Dingos aren’t an endangered species and are even a declared pest in some areas.
Even conservationist regard it as a feral species.
Because I'm an environmentalist and animal agriculture isn't really part of a healthy ecosystem?
They are killed out of areas which makes them limited (or maybe endangered) to that area. Baiting reduces their numbers. That's the point, is it not?
Who? To me, if dingos are 3000+ years on the mainland then they are less feral than sheep and other animal agriculture.
