'Probably more has been written about the dingo wars than an other aspect of "dingoloy", yet only two facts stand out: all the effort has been extremely expensive and, by and large, it has not worked' (p.152).1 In the above statement, Corbett, perhaps Australia's best-known 'dingologist', was referring to the wars between livestock producers and dingoes that have raged since the two first came into contact. This chapter is devoted to exploring the most salient aspects of these wars and, with reference to the second part of Corbett's statement, objectively evaluating both the impacts of wild dogs on livestock production and the approaches that have most commonly been employed in an attempt to stop wild dog depredation. The latter part of the chapter then examines how some of these management approaches, particularly in light of some emerging ones, might offer new opportunities to end the wars and move instead towards coexistence.
