The leader of a pack of dingoes responsible for an attack on a Brisbane woman on K’gari has been euthanised.

According to the Queensland Department of Environment and Science, the dingo had been categorised as “high-risk” following a number of other incidents including an attack on a six-year-old girl. 

The decision to euthanise the two-year-old dingo was a “significant step” made by the traditional owners of the land along with K’gari’s rangers. 

The woman was attacked while jogging on Monday morning and was rescued by two men passing by in a Ute. 

Emergency services transported the woman to a hospital for treatment to around 30 injuries including a deep laceration to her upper body. 

Rangers are still hoping to identify the other dingoes involved in the incident.
