Police in Queensland, Australia are investigating the death of a 19-year-old woman after her body was found surrounded by wild dogs on a beach at K’Gari, formerly known as Fraser Island.
The island, a UNESCO world heritage site, lies off Australia’s eastern coast and attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
The woman was a Canadian national who had spent the past six weeks working at a backpackers’ hostel on the island, Queensland police said during a press conference. They said she had traveled there with a friend from her home country.
Around 5 a.m. local time on Monday (2 p.m. ET on Sunday), the woman told people she was going for an early morning swim, police said.
Just over an hour later, two men driving past spotted a pack of approximately 10 dingoes surrounding her body on the beach near the Maheno shipwreck.
Police said it is too early to know if the woman’s death was caused by the wild dogs, which are protected as a native species in Queensland’s national parks.
“I can confirm that the woman’s body had been touched and interfered with by the dingoes,” said Queensland Police Inspector Paul Algie, “but we’re not speculating yet as to whether that was anything to do with her cause of death.”
Algie added that while dingoes are culturally significant to the island’s locals and Indigenous people, “they’re wild animals and they need to be treated as such.”
“I implore all people that visit K’Gari, which is a beautiful place, that you do not go near dingoes, that you do not feed dingoes, and that you just leave them to live their life and you move around them accordingly.”

Hope she wasn't trying to pet and befriend one! Yikes!
I don’t think I’d be swimming off the coast of Australia at 5:00 a.m. They have really big fish that like to feed during the night and day.

In my opinion, her best performance. Better than Sophie's Choice. Better than Kramer v. Kramer. LOL.
Other sow, Darwin reaps.

Didn’t they eventually conclude that’s what really happened?
“Look at all the cute fur babies! They’re all so skinny . . . I’ll offer them one of my sandwiches . . .”
Boiled down version: what happened? Did she go for an early morning swim off an Australian coastline?
The poster shows the infant in the center, so something ‘unfortunate’ must have happened to that Baby.
“Fraser Island: Known for strong rips and powerful currents, swimming here is risky due to the presence of sharks and venomous jellyfish.”

Dingoes love Canadian Bacon.
“Algie added that while dingoes are culturally significant to the island’s locals and Indigenous people, “they’re wild animals and they need to be treated as such.””
Not much different than the (college-educated) 19th Amendment types who are CONVINCED that they can tame migrants being sent here, who are Third World REJECTS.

Absolutely Fantastic!
No Dingos seen.
A dingo bit my sister.
So it's too early to tell if the dingoes killed her or were just the clean up crew but it's not too early to determine a human must have gone near, fed or just didn't leave the poor dingoes alone.
“I implore all people that visit K’Gari, which is a beautiful place, that you do not go near dingoes, that you do not feed dingoes, and that you just leave them to live their life and you move around them accordingly.” I’d pay to watch Nancy Pelosi feed a dingoe.
