I wasn't blaming this on overpopulation perse, I was responding to a comment that humans often forget that they are not the only species that is important on the planet, and that nature is not just there for their convenience. Although I would disagree that this is knee-jerk political decision-making, you'll find that many people believed that killing the dingoes was the best thing to do, and in fact the government did not kill them all as was demanded by many. It is indicative of the mentality that humans are superior and nature is their resource to be exploited, even in their holiday destinations.
