More and more tourists are being attacked by dingoes on Queensland’s K’gari. Can it be stopped?

Four people, including a toddler, have been attacked on the island in recent weeks and there’s still no plan to tackle the issue

Four people were reportedly attacked by dingoes in separate encounters on the same Australian island in recent weeks – including a toddler who was flown to hospital after being bitten on the leg.

And this is just the latest spate of violent dingo-human interactions on the popular tourist island of K’gari, which last year saw a pack of three rush and bite a woman who was jogging along a beach, saw a dingo shot and killed with a spear gun and several others put down after attacking people.
