I’ve owned dingos. I think this is the correct ruling.

I guess the dingo really did eat her baby.
This subject came up a few times in conversations I’ve had with Australians. As best I could make out the things which got the mother suspected and convicted was her cold demeanor in interviews after the tragedy and during the subsequent trial, and a general prejudice against the Seventh day Adventist Church which is viewed by some as a strange cult. But most important was a howling press storm that convicted her in the tabloids. The bastards who did that to sell more papers should have been horse whipped. I’m sure there are still people in Oz who believe the child was murdered. There is no reasoning with them.
People here in eastern Pa. don’t know how opportunistic coyotes are. They’ve just become common in the suburbs and I expect something bad to happen soon. I know of one very dense neighborhood where the coyotes are not afraid of people and eat the neighborhood cats. They’ve chased people back in to their houses. The local animal control says “they’re harmless, leave them alone, and they’ll leave you alone”.
Well, that’s an example of swift justice NOT!
Perhaps Obama should stop blaming Bush and have Press Secretary Jay Carney announce that dingos ate the economy.
