*[Enwl-eng] Indigenous leaders were ignored. Now sacred wildlife is being killed.

This tragedy was mishandled from the start. Sacred Dingoes Are Being Killed Without Indigenous Consent. This Must Stop.      Sign Now        Following the tragic death of a young tourist on K'gari, the Queensland government announced it will euthanise an entire dingo family. However, the indigenous community is warning this is the wrong move for both local wildlife and people. The dingoes of K'gari, known as wongari, are sacred to the Butchulla Aboriginal Corporation and are explicitly recognised in the island's World Heritage listing. Butchulla leaders say they were not consulted, not informed, and not respected before the decision to destroy the animals was made. For years, Indigenous leaders and conservationists have pointed to the real driver of conflict: over-tourism.    Sign now to demand Indigenous consultation and real solutions, not reactionary wildlife killings.   Conservation scientists agree this approach is misguided. Removing entire dingo families from a small, isolated population accelerates genetic collapse and does nothing to improve public safety. Experts warn the K'gari dingo population could face extinction within decades if this pattern continues. True safety comes from respect for Indigenous knowledge, for ecosystems, and for life itself. Sign the petition to demand consultation, conservation, and an end to over-tourism before more harm is done.
