Australia Announces Cull of Dingoes that Circled Canadian Woman's Body on Beach
Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service rangers observed aggressive behavior in a dingo pack after a fatal incident, leading to their euthanasia to protect public safety.
- On Sunday, the Queensland Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation announced it will humanely euthanise dingoes involved in the death of Piper James, 19-year-old Canadian backpacker, found on Seventy Five Mile Beach on K'gari.
- Following initial autopsy findings, the Department of the Environment, Tourism, Science and Innovation said rangers from Queensland Parks and Wildlife Service closely monitored the pack of dingoes this week and recorded aggressive behaviour, informing the removal decision.
- The coroner's preliminary report found post-mortem and pre-mortem dingo bite marks with fluid on the lungs, while further testing could take up to two months.
- Additional ranger patrols were assigned and some campgrounds on K'gari were closed last week, while police said the investigation continues and Ms James' family received her body after autopsy.
- The decision has prompted debate locally, noting visitor estimates of 800,000 exceed the official 500,000, while Queensland Premier David Crisafulli said authorities will consider all advice and safety messaging continues in the coming weeks.
