Wild Dingoes on Fraser Island

Here is some sad news from a part of Australia where I stayed. Fraser Island is a 75 mile sand beach island off the coast of Hervey Bay, Queensland.

BRISBANE, Australia—Officials say they will destroy two dingoes that mauled a 3-year-old girl on an Australian beach.

Environment Department general manager Terry Harper said Tuesday that one of the dogs blamed for the attack had been captured and that officials were looking for the second one. He said the animals would be humanely destroyed.

More than 200 dingoes live on Fraser Island, which is a popular tourist spot. Attacks on humans are relatively rare, though visitors to the island are warned not to feed them and to leave the animals alone.
