Australia's Centre for Invasive Species’ National Wild Dog Management program defines “wild dogs” as dingoes, roaming or domestic dogs, or any cross or hybrid of the two, and with the blessing of the government and landholders it encourages lethal management, aka widespread shooting and poisoning.
Not said: a lot of the dingos in Australia are pure dingo and are the natural and original settlers of the land along with the native Aborigines.
The invasive species in Australia are actually sheep, Europeans, rabbits, and Red Fox.
Is anyone advocating shooting and poisoning European immigrants and their livestock? Why not?
The notion that none of the dingos in Australia are pure dingo is a myth that has been used as justification for lethal control, same as lack of "breed purity" is used to justify killing otherwise healthy dogs down at the pound.
