There is a world somewhere between reality and fiction. Although ignored by many, it is very real and so are those living in it. This forum is about the natural world. Here, wild animals will be heard and respected. The forum offers a glimpse into an unknown world as well as a room with a view on the present and the future. Anyone able to speak on behalf of those living in the emerald forest and the deep blue sea is invited to join.

Yes, to kill "all" those dogs could be practically impossible, especially with the resilience of those canids. A similar case happened in the Holocene in Australia, the feral dogs became in dingoes and the native fauna suffered losses.
The dingo have no natural predators, so they obviously impacted kangaroo and emu and other natural fauna quite a bit. But who knows, maybe these dogs will become a nice supplemental prey item for tigers and leopards. I wonder how they interact with Dhole as it is? Its a new problem that I have observed, but its obviously been going on for years.
