It is very long and rambling, and the purpose is quite difficult to understand.

It seems to be concerned about the threat of hydatits, and also the dingoes caching parvo.

I think. Probably both valid - but hydatits is a problem in every public place where dogs go. More so in colder wetter areas, but everywhere really.

It makes you wonder about the double standards here These dingoes are the responsibility of the national parks and are in such poor condition, food supply would be limited and a lot of the dead animals mention as being a food source would be cleaned up so as not to upset the tourists.They say its the natural way but its not.

If anyone else let an animal of any description they were responsible for suffer like this, they would have the full force of the law thrown at them.

Its the same with brumbies and other feral animals,I watched a doco about brumbies where thy were culling the herds when there were large healthy numbers ,but when drought hit they let them starve to death around what few waterholes were left,when they could have gone there while they were suffering and too weak to flee and ended their pain,instead they died slowly, often in the water hole putrifying any remaining water that native animals had available,maybe its because if the brumbies go so do their jobs
