As for aerial shooting to cull it is grossly inhumane. As a ballistic expert explained it should not take up to 7 bullets to kill an animal. It can only be happening as the wrong ammunition is being used. Horses laying on the ground alive and suffering or dead mares with foals left to die. A measure of a country and its people they say is in the way it treats its animals. And I am ashamed to be Australian in the way these Brumbies meet their end. And it is also being watched by the world in disgust. Good on these incredible people for giving these majestic horses a second chance at life by training and rehoming.
Well said buddy I’m with you on this , those that support shooting them I’m disgusted in and especially the government for not even trying to come up with a friendly way of reducing the impact of numbers , rather than killing everything they deem a pest , this goes for camels as well when middle eastern countries are wanting them , I just don’t get their attitude on fixing things , I’m proud of those people taking charge and finding homes , like you I am Ashamed as an Australian when our government goes rouge on killing animals even our humble koala killed off by developing residential areas where the koala has no where to go .
I agree. Please note that in some parts of Australia they do shoot horses (indiscriminately) and it is not always to the head so many die painful deaths. That is heart breaking too.:(
I've adopted a Mustang from the BLM before, back in '95, and frankly, the camp part was the only part I could have foregone and am glad I didn't have to take part in. No camp = more time to play with the new horse! BTW, he was the easiest horse I've ever trained. He was a five year old, and didn't have any problems with paying attention for long periods of time, and he was a stallion ( I think that they're only adopting out geldings, now) but the nicest, gentlest stallion you could ever meet. I had only had him a year when I taught my then 6 year old daughter to ride and she did so on him. I only got him gelded when my sister got a mare. They are well worth the time you put into them, and I'm glad he was a part of my life. From what I've seen, here, the Brumbies are every bit as good and with the same rational minds our Mustangs have.
Yes, Brumbies can be and are a major problem in so many areas and need to be controlled dramatically, and this is the most animal friendly way that I have heard of. Keep up the great work people.
This was SO delightful to see! I'm in the US west. I gues brumbies are the equivalent of our mustangs, which wander freely aroud some areas of the west. However, they overpopulate and are regularly rounded up by the Land Management people and sold. I seriously doubt there's any real training program to assure success of the mustang's new placement. I've heard they aren't easy horses to train. They've been feral since our west was owned by the Spanish.
We cannot continue to slaughter these beautiful animals. They truly are part of our history. My grandmother was a pioneer midwife, riding out day or night to deliver babies and stay with the families till all was settled. She could not have done that without her trusty horse. Humans do more damage than horses. Thoughtless hikers, entitled ski enthusiasts, and ignorant tourists do more damage to our environment than any horses. How that man can casually talk about the inhumane shooting of brumbies, often leaving them wounded to die slowly, starving foals dying with them, shows me he has little respect for animals at all. We have to find a better way. And its thousands of horses shot, not hundreds. I am not a proud Australian Our animal abuse is appalling.
Rescue them but place them on a sanctuary with their herd where there physical and psychological needs are met. Don't tether, sit on their backs and exploit them. Horses hate that.
Amazing beautiful out come for these awesome animals , the ones that can’t be homed or to dangerous etc the meat house would be better than just being shot and left on the ground , not all can be saved but this approach I love dearly what these people are doing , thank you.
Why doesn't Australia copy the same system that New Zealand does to deal with it's horse issue. By the way, the too many humans is more of an issue on the state of Australian wildlife and the development for suburbia, pushing out Koalas. There is not enough evidential fact that Horses are so called ruining the alpines, what a man crap
Wow, what sad-looking horses, they are nothing like the American wild horse or the Northern Canadian wild horse. They look more like a weak standard breed or something. I grew up thinking the wild Australian horse was a great-looking horse. These examples did not look good to me. It's hard to explain, he looks thin, lanky, weak in the leg and barrel, and overall confirmation looks weak. I know I'm ranting but this is a shock from the pitcher I had in my mind's eye. I wonder if they have the good feet of a wild horse like the Mustang or Alberta horse.

I didn't realize this organization was so close to where I live. I'll have to check it out! Awesome stuff.
Wow ! Just WOW! I wish the States had this with the Mustangs !!! We have something similar but without the camp

Absolutely incredible and beautiful animals
Maybe NSW Parks can learn something from this
Comforting to see young people stepping up to the challenge.
Almost like wildlife causeways and highway improvements need to happen in Australia.
But wild horses and camels and deer really need to be managed

Fantastic story ❤
Awesome 💯
How can I put my name down for a couple of Brumbies?
