Do dingoes get hurt during identification?
The soft-catch traps used to capture the dingoes are very safe and there is a very small likelihood of injury to the dingo. Rangers have captured hundreds of dingoes without any long-term injury. Dingoes naturally fight among themselves continuously and bites—whether intended to reinforce dominance or to kill an opponent—are sometimes delivered to a limb. The sighting of a limping dingo is usually a result of fighting and not trapping.
