If it's hungry enough...probably.
I mean I've been camping on Fraser where there is a dingo overpopulation problem because tourists kept feeding them, so what happens when they are told to stop and then the Rangers erect a massive fence to keep packs of dingos well away from a free meal?
The dingos get pissed, because they've learnt to rely on humans, and they start to starve.
Now, because they aren't afraid of people anymore, and they're fucking desperate to eat, they think having a shot at a kid or a toddler here and there is fair game.
It was bound to happen. No brainer.
So when you travel places and read those signs that say, Don't feed the wildlife", don't feed the fucking wildlife. It's bad for the animal, it's bad for people.

Plus you probably won't have to vote for a few years until your citizenship clears.
Bonus.
:poke:
I'd have to have a moat of fire around my house because of those fucking spiders though.

EDIT - HOLY FUCKING SHIT Dingos do eat babies!

I think LA's drink is the Moscow Mule...or at least it was invented here.

Dude, a moat won't stop a spider.
Sorry.
You might get some mad species of water dragon, though. Those are cool.
Although, you're more likely to attract mosquitoes infested with Ross River Fever and large excess water usage rates from your local council.
Every fucking drop counts, mate.

I think you missed the part where the moat is made of fire. No way I'd want standing water near my house there - those mosquitoes are the size of birds, plus I'm sure crocs and sharks would find their way in there as well.

Fuck help us if they bring some fruit with them.
Lolololololol.

Dingos are basically just like Shiba Inus. They're mostly cool with people but if they're hungry or threatened your hand is coming off. So actually exactly like Shibes.

Most of our native animals arent really that deadly. They are complete arseholes though. My dad has been having this war with one huge old kangaroo that hangs around his property for like 18 months. He builds bigger and more complicated fences, the roo shows up, laughs and kicks them down.

Also when you wake up to possums snarling outside your window at 3am. The stuff of nightmares for real haha. They are cute as shit, and totally harmess, but jesus christ do they make a horrid sound. From the pits of hell!

Koalas also look cute but when they sound gross when they speak up. Yeesh...

Oh man we had possums on our roof for the first time this year. My wife had never heard them up close before. THEY SOUND LIKE PEOPLE.

We got koalas in our backyard a couple times growing up. Evil tempered little bastards.

Yea, 950+ pages is rough... :lol: I got the cliff notes version in some classes I took for my second major (History///imperialism/colonial empries was my biggest focus)

But have you had your Moxie today? Gotta hand it to Maine, Nebraska, and Rhode Island for not just going with milk..

Guns, Germs, and Steel...the easier popular history read!

This thread makes me glad to live in a place that has been settled by humans for long enough to have all unpleasant vermin extinct for generations.
