Why were wild dogs introduced to Australia?

Answer 1

Brumbies? We can't say exactly, but according to some Australians there are too many. Culling is happening, shooting the horses from helicopters, which some believe isn't altogether humane. Why culling is essential is uncertain, but we do the same to dingos and to our national symbol, the kangaroo. This is possibly because these creatures get between our cattle and their grazing land and our farmlands, which we have so carefully cleared since settlement in order to provide meat, wool, and grain.

Answer 2

Wild dogs were introduced to Australia in the 19th century to assist with controlling the population of pests such as rabbits and kangaroos. Unfortunately, these dogs, primarily dingoes, were not effective in controlling the intended pests and instead became a significant threat to native wildlife.

Answer 3

Wild dogs, commonly known as dingoes, were introduced to Australia when the Aborigines came. The Aborigines used the dingoes to help with hunting.

Feral dogs, which are quite different, came with Europeans. They were used as pets and for hunting, and some were released either deliberately or accidentally into the wild where they bred.
