Best Answer

People regard dingoes as pests, and farmers fear that dingoes will kill their livestock, so the dingo is often hunted by man. Also, purebred (or "dinkum") dingoes are in danger of dying out because a great deal of inter-breeding has gone on between dingoes and feral dogs. However, the dingo is not endangered. Its conservation status is listed as "vulnerable".

Would dingos harm humans?

No, dingos will not harm humans, as they are extremely shy, only those few dingos (mainly on Fraser Island) who have been socialized by people will come close to humans. The rangers say they are being dangerous, but in fact they are curious. Though like any other canine, dingos may harm a person if threatened or pressured etc.
