Eco-Tourism ...

Except that no one explained it to the critters.

I'm going to avoid the obvious Meryl Streep/Elaine-from-Seinfeld quote and say thanks to God. But why was the door open?

Someone will want to fine the toddler for disturbing wildlife.

[Aussie Dasher]

That's one gutsy kid!

Further evidence to let Lindy Chamberlain off the hook.

"The Dingo is NOT going to eat my baby!!"

Brave girl.

[Mentos]

Jeez what is this creep up to now?

What?

Oh. Nevermind.

...who were in the bathroom of the Kingfisher Bay eco-tourism resort which often has dingoes wandering through the grounds.

"George, I have an idea! Let's take the baby to an eco-tourism resort where dingoes roam freely!!"

"Great idea, Betty! I'll pack the soy products. You get the latest issue of Mother Jones, and off we'll go!"

Beautiful animals. Why does the poor dingo have to be destroyed? It didn't hurt anybody, and it was doing what its instincts told it to do: it found a small juicy prey-animal to eat and was contemplating eating it. So far as I know, no one in this eco-tourism camp trained the dingos not to eat children. So how is a dingo, exposed to such temptation, supposed to exercise human-like self-control and forego a delicious tidbit like a baby? We humans are not very good at refusing food, either.

In my view the parents are effing idiots. I hope they feel terrible that their stupidity has cost an innocent animal its life.

"She said the warnings included advice not to feed the dingoes and not to leave children alone. "

Now perhaps the warnings will be upgraded. . .'not to leave children alone - in the room. . .even while you go to the bathroom. . .'

Seems it would be even better; if they made this place for 'adults only'. . .healthy. . .ambulatory and fearless.

I sort of get the feeling that Dingoes get a bad rap. I don't think they are any more dangerous than any other pack of wild dogs. I suspect they would make excellent pets if they were raised in a household.
