It is a very sad.. In Australia Dingos, Kangaroos and everything else are shot and killed just for the fun.

That is interesting information!! I went to the FB link you posted and signed up. I have to check and see, if I was accepted into the group. I saw the people posting about the Dingos that are dieing, that's very sad,

The origins of the dingo are obscure and there is much controversy. It is not truly native to Australia but is thought to have arrived between 3500 and 4000 years ago. Whatever its origins, the dingo was a highly valued companion to the Aborigines. They were hunting companions, guard dogs, the dingos kept them warm at night.

It looks a cute little dog. Is their behavior similar to dogs? Are they wild or do people have them as pets?
