Dingo Star

The final ruling by the coroner, in Australia, that the baby of Lindy Chamberlain was taken and killed by a Dingo, in 1980, when the family were camping near Uluru has led to the writing of  a timely article reminding  people in that country to recognise that some wild life can be dangerous (http://www.guardian.co.uk/commentisfree/2012/jun/13/dingoes-azaria-chamberlain-autstralia-judgment?INTCMP=SRCH). Rather than attempting to eradicate 'dangerous' animals (only too late, was it recognised that Dingoes are powerful and intelligent predators introduced from South-East Asia around 4000 years ago), viable ecology requires people to act intelligently around Dingoes, Great white sharks and Saltwater crocodiles etc. This applies also to some of the small critters such as the Black widow spider.
