How is the introduction of dogs a reason for the extinction of the Thylacine?
The introduction of dogs is not a major reason for the extinction of the Thylacine. When a bounty was placed on the Thylacine for fear it might be a sheep-killer and a danger to other livestock, men would have taken their dogs with them to help hunt down the Thylacine. Without the aid of dogs, it is unlikely this elusive creature would have been found by the Europeans, who were (and are) clumsy hunters when it comes to Australian native wildlife.
