Australian state weighs rule change to allow dingoes to be pets – UPI.com

Nov. 7 (UPI) — The state government in Queensland, Australia, is considering a classification change that would allow for dingoes to be kept as household pets.

The Queensland Department of Primary Industries is weighing a potential change that would see dingoes reclassified as Canis familiaris, also known as domestic dogs.

The change is being considered as part of a review of Queensland's biosecurity laws ahead of legislative amendments expected to be made in the spring.

Dingoes are currently classified as an invasive species in the state, meaning they cannot be released, relocated, fed, sold or kept.

"Dingoes will continue to be protected in national parks and landholders will still be able to take action to protect their livestock from wild dog or dingo attacks under the general biosecurity obligation," a Department of Primary Industries representative told the Australian Broadcasting Corp.
