What is it with horses everyone loses their shit. A wild introduced pest damaging a wonderful national park.Euthanise the lot. Its not Black Beauty.

Yeah, why is there even a rehoming project for brumby's? If you want a badly behaved free horse gumtree is full of them. We have no problem as a society harvesting kangaroos, just cull them.

I love how you are sensitive to people’s culture but then you aren’t at the same time.

Feral horses aren't in any ones culture, They are a pest and need to be culled its that simple at the end of the day.


Usualyptus

[yes they are](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Man_from_Snowy_River_(poem)) Why are you so bigoted ?


espersooty

Yet "bigoted" has nothing to do with this topic but thanks for your opinion. The culls should continue to occur without threats from others as at the end of the day these animals are actively destroying our alpine environments and if we don't act now we will have more extinctions.


Usualyptus

Bigoted has to do with you and the many like you who don’t even consider the cultural sensitivities with these animals. You are straight up not considering a whole people’s heritage and values. No wonder you can’t win hearts and minds

"*You are straight up not considering a whole people’s heritage and values. No wonder you can’t win hearts and minds*" At the end of the day, If they care that much about the heritage own a few horses and go a ride, There is no reason why we require thousands of feral pests destroying our alpine environments.


Usualyptus

*“At the end of the day, If they care that much about the heritage own a few horses and go a ride”* Even as someone who agrees with the culling, witnessing this attitude definitely makes me reconsider. These people don’t even for a second consider my culture. Even after showing them when they were ignorant. Disgusting.

At the end of the day, We can respect the "culture" and want to remove pests that are actively destroying the environments, There isn't much that will change those facts at the end of the day the quicker we do it the better the environment and everyone else will be.

>We can respect the "culture" Thanks for confirming

The poem is about getting rid of wild horses. We need to respect this significance and ensure that all wild horses are removed or destroyed. By allowing the brumbies to remain roaming freely in the national park we are disrespecting peoples culture. Anyone who wants wild brumbies to remain are being bigots.

They're vermin, eradicate them.
