 Australian state considers allowing dingoes to be kept as pets

Queensland is considering reclassifying dingoes to allow them as household pets, a move that would shift the animals from their current status as an invasive species to Canis familiaris, or domestic dogs. The proposal is part of a broader review of the state’s biosecurity laws, with legislative amendments expected in the spring. Under current rules, dingoes cannot be released, relocated, fed, sold, or kept, though they remain protected in national parks, and landholders can take measures to safeguard livestock from wild dogs or dingoes.

The potential change has sparked opposition from wildlife experts and advocates. Critics argue that dingoes are a distinct species with unique ecological roles, not suited to domestic life. Genetics researcher Kylie Cairns noted that dingoes’ intelligence and agility make them poor candidates for home environments, as they can easily escape or outsmart traditional containment. While dingoes are already legal to keep as pets in New South Wales and Western Australia, rescue organizations report that many are abandoned or surrendered, highlighting challenges in integrating the wild canines into households.
