Help protect dingoes across Australia

Dingoes are legally trapped, poisoned and shot across Australia after being labelled a pest, despite being a native apex predator with an important ecological role.

These killings are intended to prevent predation on farm animals, but they are cruel and often ineffective. Dingoes help regulate ecosystems by suppressing introduced predators such as foxes and cats. They also hold deep cultural significance for many First Nations Peoples.

Modern, humane alternatives now exist to protect livestock without killing dingoes. Coexistence tools such as guardian animals and deterrents are more effective than culling and benefit farmers, animals, and the environment.

It’s time to end lethal dingo control and support humane coexistence instead.

Dear {contact_data~salutation} {contact_data~lastName},

I am writing to express my concern that dingoes continue to be legally shot, trapped and poisoned by landholders.

Dingoes are a native species of high conservation value, yet they are treated as pests under an outdated approach. Evidence shows lethal control can destabilise dingo family groups and may worsen predation on farm animals.

Humane, non-lethal alternatives such as guardian animals and deterrents are available and often more effective. Your government can take practical steps to phase out lethal methods while expanding support for proven non-lethal tools.

I respectfully urge your government to end cruel practices such as 1080 poisoning and provide stronger protections for dingoes, recognising their ecological and cultural importance.

Yours sincerely,
