Episode Details

First Nations elders, environmental advocates, and graziers urge Western Australias parliament to reclassify native dingoes from pests to protected species. They argue that current pest status leads to indiscriminate killing methods, ignoring dingoes ecological role. Advocates propose shifting funding from lethal control to practical coexistence strategies. Dingoes benefits include controlling feral pigs, goats, and balancing kangaroo populations, as well as reducing grazing pressure on pastures. A station owners experience shows healthier pastures after stopping dingo culling. The delegation seeks to remove dingoes from the pest list, ban harmful poisons and traps, and implement support programs for landholders.
