The Queensland government SHOT, not euthanized, 6 innocent Wongari SHOT DOWN, CULLED, not Euthanized.  And you are killing more!  Because Piper James DROWNED!  You had absolutely NO PROOF the dingoes were involved, but SHOT THEM ANYWAY!  Killed and will be later proven innocent.  The Butchalla Nation is infuriated.  They were not consulted, probably because you knew they would say NO.  They are planning a lawsuit.  This is absolutely an act of colonial violence.  I am furious, as a Canadian citizen, that you killed several Wongari, and are killing more, in honour of a Canadian citizen who loved animals? This will not keep anyone safe. You just destabilized the family dynamics, causing more animals to pair up and create even more packs.  Usually, only the dominant pair breeds, but you killed them off.  You ignored the Indigenous peoples, and ignored the wishes of the James family.  And you did this to increase tourism?  Tourism will go down because of the Wongari slaughter. Putting a cap on tourism would have avoided this potential boycott of a country that routinely kills animals.  People come to K’Gari to celebrate the Wongari.  But they won’t now knowing that you are killing animals.  https://statements.qld.gov.au/statements/104382
 
Please halt this killing IMMEDIATELY and APOLOGIZE to the Butchalla and to the James family for this appalling approach to the tragic death of a Canadian teenager.
