The thing is dingoes are just dogs, pure and simple. They were the first wave of dogs, then a new wave of dogs came in. With this new wave of dogs, came many other changes to australia, not least of which a wider variety of prey animals in certain areas. And so the wild dogs of australia, which by now I think should be considered part of the furniture, have changed in some areas from normal dingoes to different dog designs in response to the new prey animals and with help from the genes of domestic dog types which can contribute an aptitude for hunting these animals. What we get from the australian people is this big resistance to all this natural stuff taking place, they're trying to kill off the feral dogs and kill off their prey and ofcourse failing, and if anything just prolonging this awkward destructive transitionary period. A totally natural one really which has happened on most other landmasses at different times in history. Eurasian animals invaded north america, caused a lot of extinctions and destruction but it all sorted itself out and created the north american wilderness we see today. North american animals invaded south america, again caused a lot of destruction and there was an awkward transition with extinctions and etc but it became the magnificent wilderness of south america. The destruction in australia has already been done, it was done when the aborigines and later dingoes came to australia and completely decimated the native flora and fauna. Australia pre-europeans was a decimated biosphere, eerily devoid of large animals, an incomplete eco-system. The animals that have come with the europens noticed this vacancy and ofcourse are running amok, having a field day filling all the vacant niches. And people are scrambling to inhibit this process by any means necessary. Poisoning and trapping and aerial shooting and whatever you can be done to stop the animals from forming a new ecosystem. My view is- let them form a new ecosystem. Let it sort itself out and build up into a diverse and vibrant full eco-system as seen in south america. Dogs are shaping up to be the main predators, and heading in some interesting directions with some (unfortunately shot) feral dogs verified to tip the scales at around 75 kgs. Mind you I'm not saying ferals in australia shouldn't be hunted, by no means, but they should be hunted by natural methods that test the quality of the prey species and naturally spares the top specimens. In other words, hunt them with dogs. Anyway, getting a bit of topic I suppose.
