Dingos

As a academic exercise <a href="http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2004/08/03/1091476448685.html?oneclick=true">this</a> is very interesting. But who are they trying to placate?<br />n<br />n<i>Australia's dingoes probably evolved from a very small group of pets brought by South-East Asian settlers, researchers reported today.</i><br />n<br />nI will point out the word "pet" in this statement.<br />n<br />npet: a domesticated animal kept for pleasure rather than utility (Merriam-Webster)<br />n<br />nI find it extremely hard to believe that 5000 years ago when people were making the dangerous journey to Australian continent that they would have brought a pet along. These people were coming from the south-east Asia area and dogs have been historically considered a food animal for humans in this area. I personally have to believe that this is why the dog was brought along with them instead of as a pet. That is just ridiculous <br />n<br />n<b>Even a fool, when he holdeth his peace, is counted wise: and he that shutteth his lips is esteemed a man of understanding. Bible: Hebrew Proverbs, 17:28.</b>
