VIDEO: RAY HADLEY GIVES EVIDENCE
Thank you Sky News for your coverage of Ray Hadley giving evidence in Brumby Inquiry.
2GB radio host Ray Hadley has blasted RSPCA NSW chief executive Steve Coleman and called for him to be sacked during a parliamentary inquiry into the aerial shooting of brumbies at Kosciuszko National Park.
Wagga Wagga City Council confirmed the discovery of more than 500 slaughtered horses at a property in April this year.
“He should be sacked. He sent people to that property, they saw a cool room … and they didn’t think to look inside,” Mr Hadley told the NSW parliamentary inquiry.
“There were carcasses discovered by Wagga Wagga Council and the RSPCA, charged with protecting animals, brumbies and the rest of them … they didn’t look inside the dam cool room.
“What are we growing strawberries? We are keeping the strawberries cool?
“For God’s sake, there were beasts in there that had been slaughtered and they didn’t look.”
RAY HADLEY INTERVIEWS ROBERT BORSAK MLC
How can an average of 7.5 shots, up to a maximum of 15 shots, be considered humane? The RSPCA has deserted their principles and the people who support them.

Do you think 15 shots to kill a horse is humane?
I’m deeply concerned by the NPWS’s responses yesterday to the aerial brumby shooting program in Kosciuszko NP.
Despite claims of no adverse welfare outcomes, there are reports and photos suggesting otherwise, let alone the fact they average 7.5 shots up to a maximum 15 shots per horse!!
Can you believe this? Imagine what would happen if hunters posted that they were blasting away 15 times with a small calibre rifle to kill an animal?
Transparency is lacking. I’ve called for video monitoring on helicopters and firearms to ensure humane practices.
If you have photos of improperly shot horses, please share them with my office.

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.
