The facts put forward by Kurtis compliment the argument put forward by
Bradley Smith in ‘The Dingo Debate’ chapter 8 ‘An ecological view of the
dingo’. That is that the presence of dingoes keeps foxes and cats
(mesopredators) ‘on edge’ so they are less successful where dingoes exist.
Dingoes occur in much smaller densities than cats and foxes and usually hunt
larger prey. A win for small mammals and even for farmers as they reduce the
number of kangaroos and wallabies. Hence the debate…
