Meeting the maremmas who guard the Little Penguins at Middle Island, Warrnambool. No foxes have eaten the colony since the dogs started living on their island in Australia.

Like the foxes should be starved because a bunch of Karens say so. That is not conservation.

Conservation is what they say it is. Just like everything else.

Right. They already lost the Emu war. This is like the UK using myxomatosis, or Obama green lighting the mustang slaughters.

Considering Vulpes vulpes was introduced to Australia by man...

They are still living animals. This is just as stupid as the rabbit fence.

FFS go back to drinking your gluten free muggiatos and please leave the real world to people who actually live in it

I suggest you research the effects of invasive species. Good day.

This is the exact same crap story "purist" always say. The fox has been there since 1871. That is 148 years. It is an easy scapegoat.

It is sloppy and lazy, not good science. The horse is an invasive species almost every where. Beatles, ladybugs, etc.

The foxes are an introduced pest and have caused unbelievable damage to Australian ecosystems. You should look into it a little

Dingo's were introduced by man as well.

I am not saying that they don't cause issues, but predators need to eat too. Conservation efforts that want to simply erase them are foolish

Europe slaughtered their predators, Africa is doing the same, and so is South America.

The problem with them compared to most other predators though is that they frenzy kill, rather than kill what they need to survive.
