#PestControl by #culling in #France does not work:
(1) killing animals does not reduce the #damages they produce
(2) costs associated with organizing the killing (100 millions euros annually) are ~5 times larger than costs linked to the damages (20 millions euros annually)
(3) killing these animals destroy the ecosystemic services they provide

The Queensland government has culled six dingoes involved in the death of Canadian backpacker Piper James on K'gari. A coroner's report found while the 19-year-old was bitten by dingoes before she died, drowning was the most likely cause of her death.

"The main problem is people. It's a people problem on the island, not a dingo problem...Traditional owners say they are heartbroken and were not consulted about the cull."
