A Queensland disability pensioner with a love of dingoes has begun a personal crusade to save the animals from extinction in the wild.
Simon Stretton is battling biosecurity regulations and opposition from farmers as he tries to create a reservoir of purebred dingo genes to preserve wild populations.

, has started his own sanctuary at Durong in the state’s South Burnett region.
What I’m trying to do is save dingoes from extinction, basically, due to interbreeding from the wild dogs [and] also from the State Government’s excessive use of 1080 baiting,
he said.
The dingo is considered to be a pest in Queensland — via redwolf.newsvine.com
