BRUMBY FACTS

We are a dedicated group of passionate advocates, united by our unwavering commitment to protect Australia’s cherished Brumbies.

For years, we have toiled tirelessly behind the scenes, fighting against the heart-wrenching slaughter of any horse, for any reason – anywhere in the world. Our efforts have spanned over a decade, driven by a deep-rooted love and respect for these magnificent creatures.

You may have stumbled upon links to our main site where we also choose to remain anonymous, preferring to let our actions speak louder than our identities.

And as you may have guessed, we are careful for another reason, we’ve been threatened on numerous ocassions for being steadfast in our commitment to banning the slaughter of horses for any purpose.

The media and government often dismiss advocates for horses, including those who champion for the Brumbies, as nothing more than “fringe extremists.” But we refuse to accept this misrepresentation. Instead, we have forged connections with a diverse array of advocates and organizations, determined to prove them wrong.

Frequent posts on our site reflect our unwavering support for fundraising and protest efforts initiated by others. We believe in solidarity and collaboration, recognizing that our collective strength lies in unity.

Our message to those fighting to end the senseless massacre of Brumbies is simple: let’s join forces and work together.

We demand accountability from the government, challenging the validity of the numbers used to justify the current Brumby massacre. Are there truly 12,000 to 22,000 Brumbies in the KNP, as claimed?

The data currently being used to justify this massacre by the government of NSW, Australia  was denied a peer review by the same university who developed the software used to come up with the data.

Expert testimonies, ignored during the recent inquiry, showed the data the “cull” is based on is not valid.

It’s possible that the actual number of Brumbies remaining in the KNP is far fewer than the the 3,000 the government stipulates is to remain. If this is the case, what is happening is not a cull but the needless eradication of a living legacy.

Moreover, we adamantly oppose the so-called “humane” cull, which employs a double-tap method of shooting Brumbies from helicopters. Government documents admit that this method often results in a slow and agonizing death, as horses are shot multiple times, their bodies struggling against the inevitable.  Make no mistake about it, a humane shooting from a helicopter is a myth.

We refuse to accept this cruelty. We implore you to stand with us in demanding NON-LETHAL alternatives to this barbaric practice.

If you seek to reach out, have unanswered questions, or wish to join our cause, our webmaster is available to address your inquiries.

Together, let us raise our voices for the voiceless and fight for a future where compassion triumphs over cruelty.

PRESS RELEASE

A wild horse has the same capacity to feel pain and fear as a native animal, and their lives deserve the same level of dignity and respect.

We need to find a way to protect the native animals at risk, without hunting down Brumbies with helicopters, ground shooting or hauling them to be slaughtered at knackeries.

We urge you to join us in demanding the NSW government stop this cruel cull and adopt humane, non-lethal solutions.
