Multiple dingoes have attacked individuals on K'gari Island, including a toddler who required hospitalization. In light of these incidents, David Crisafulli's government has repealed limitations on peak visitor numbers intended to mitigate human-dingo interactions. K'gari, a world heritage site with a rich history tied to the Butchulla people, boasts stunning natural landscapes, including pristine lakes and subtropical forests. The Butchulla regard dingoes as sacred creatures, vital to both their culture and the island's ecology. Recent genetic studies have debunked myths regarding the purity of these dingoes amidst concerns of their safety due to increasing human interactions.
The K'gari dingoes, sacred to the Butchulla people, have been involved in multiple attacks, prompting government action that contradicts previous measures designed to protect both visitors and wildlife.
The Butchulla people regard the dingoes, or wongari, as sacred. Their presence on K'gari is significant, with around 200 believed to roam the area, contributing to its unique landscape.
