Wild heritage horses known in Australia as Brumbies are facing a brutal massacre in the Kosciuszko National Park (KNP).

These magnificent beings, including pregnant mares and foals, are being chased and terrorised with helicopters — and being ruthlessly gunned down from the air.

Let’s be clear, these are slow and painful deaths, these are NOT quick deaths.

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

This barbaric massacre is based on an official population count that is anything but accurate.

The count states there are 12,797 to 21,760 Brumbies in the Park.

That’s a spread of 8,963 — almost 9,000 — horses.

In what scientific community would that level of uncertainty be considered valid?

It’s important to note that a government mandate stipulates that 3,000 horses are to be protected and remain in the park.

So we ask you — if an accurate starting population count is not known — how will they know when to stop slaughtering horses?

Or is this a senseless eradication of wild heritage horses masquerading as management?

The team at Brumby Facts would like to take a moment to publicly thank Marilyn Nuske of Brumby Action Group, Inc. for putting together an easy to use email campaign – and for all she does to raise awareness about the cruel and unecessary slaughter of Australia’s wild heritage horses.

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.
