DEMAND A NON-LETHAL ALTERNATIVE
TO BRUMBY MASSACRE
Thursday, March 28, 2024:
Brumby advocates – here is the truth.
On Wednesday I put up a motion calling for the killing of brumbies to stop. The National Party put up an amendment calling for a pause while the shooting was investigated.
The amendments failed after the Shooters Party MPs turned their backs on the brumbies and voted against their own party’s position against aerial shooting. They voted to support the Government’s aerial shooting program. Further, two MP’s from the Liberal Party abstained from voting – never even coming into the chamber.
The Liberals then walked out of the chamber on my motion, causing the first ever Coalition split in this term of Parliament. I am now told that the Liberals have put out a statement that they ‘cautiously support aerial shooting’.
We are in the last days of the Upper House inquiry where the huge majority of submissions called for the killing to stop. Sign the petition calling on the shooting to stop here.
I don’t know what deals have been done behind closed doors to get support for this bloodbath. In my speech in Parliament I said, “One day Parliament will have a genuine discussion about true interspecies justice, rather than ignoring the truth about humanity and kindness – to pretend that these animals do not suffer or feel pain is not a political position – it is cowardice.”
YOU CAN HELP STOP THIS BARBARIC INHUMANE SLAUGHTER
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.
1. Contact the PM & the MPs responsible: Make your voice heard! Demand an end to your tax dollars being used to massacre Brumbies.
2. Sign this petition: Show the government the overwhelming public opposition to this barbaric practice. BUT hurry before it's too late.
3. Contact the RSPCA NSW: Wild horses are suffering under RSPCA NSW inaction. Take a stand. Add your voice - fill out a quick form and urge others to join you.
4. Donate: We are a volunteer-run organization relying on your support to end this cruelty. Every donation -- no matter what size -- gets us closer to our goal.
