i think in one sense its a good idea...dingo would make great contact animals and so if they help drive attendance or create an improved zoo experience then its ok.
but as Childonias said, there are so many species in desperate need of new blood in NZ, and the region does need additional holders for other dog species. would like to have seen these resources perhaps used elsewhere. |

While I agree that space for a canid species might have been better used for a program species, the reality is that importing dingoes into NZ is as probably difficult as importing a pet dog. Add the value of a contact animal for the public and the resources used (particularly enclosure space) are alot less than for dhole, hunting dog or maned wolf.
