Animal cruelty in Australia and The Southeast Asian Wolf: Asia Pacific Polynesia

Unregulated Hunting of Australian Wildlife

The Australian war against the South Pacific Wolf has been a costly one, and a hateful one by desperate farmers like Don Sallway. The American Dingo or the Carolina Dog is a favorite Wolf-dog breed in the USA for home and hunting, and its a wonder why Australia hasn't progressed in their views since the 1800s from the countrified Australian Sheep-shaver mentality [1,2]. The Australian Government has allowed the image of the native Wolf-dog to be down played to a "wild menace", so to allow ranchers to not just defend against packs, but to actively hunt them down and kill entire dens. Sometimes the means in which the older generation ranchers hunt is extreme and harmful to the environmental ecosystem, and with Asia Pacific changes, these ole' timers with their old methods of handling things might be put under more strict policy. Research on the DNA of the South Pacific wolf breed shows it's not just any wolf breed, but the genetic founder of other Wolf-dogs in Asia and has ties to the Asian and Eurasian wolves. Some Australians are still using the old Boomer term of "Dingoes" while academics call them Southeast Asian wolves or even Polynesian wolves [1]. 

It's reported that there are many regions of Australia that are giving the wolf-dogs no Animal Rights Protection, calling it pest control, even though the wolf breed is of extremely valuable stock [(warning graphic content) 1, 2,3].

"Registered full breeds of a Shiba Inu Japanese Wolf-dog who has close genetic relations to the Southeast Asian and Polynesian Wolf, start selling a 2,000.00 USD and go to 3,500.00 USD. If Australia had a stronger sense of culture and a sharper appreciation for education, they too could have a unique and proud Australian Wolf-dog breed. The USA breeders have today the best in the World Wolf-Dog breeds on the market, with all the characteristics of a Timber Wolf, but with the family sense of an average Huskey" [Youtube link: American Wolf-Dog]

"If its going to be considered a dog, it should still be protected from Animal cruelty. This not the wild west, this is an Era of environmental responsibility, of Global Warming, and if need be, these old out-dated people must be held legally responsible for their actions. First world nations are working on reducing their carbon footprint, these Australian ranchers must also change with the times"

"The British Pit-bull Terrier is so bad it's banned in most U.S. American states, thousands are put to sleep weekly by unprepared owners who had to take them into the pound. The Australian sheep ranchers have spread so many myths and drunken hill-billy stories about the Dingo, that they really don't know what type of breed is safe and what breed is not"

A few new generation Australian ranchers had the right idea, who have a higher education level, and who see the land as a home and not as an enemy. They raised a good size pack of Native Wolf-dogs and now that pack helps protect their property and their family against any opposing wildlife in the bush. 

Studies show that the Wolf-dog was brought 3000-4500 years ago and is from Southeast Asian-Polynesian seafarers and is a colonizer of the Australian environment. With one of the most hateful political campaigns against an animal still today, with fake information on the breed, brutal traps, and a long list of chemical compounds used to kill unregulated, its up to a better generation to step forward.
