PLEASE JOIN US IN SIGNING A PETITION TO END THE LETHAL MANAGEMENT OF BRUMBIES

The Government’s policy of using lethal management on wild-living brumbies is based on flawed population counts, and false claims of damage and does not recognise the Heritage value of brumbies.

We recently wrote about inaccuracies in reporting of Brumby numbers and how governments are ignoring science when it comes to the cruel, inhumane culling of Brumbies both from the ground and from the air.  You can read more here about how science is being ignored - and about recent massacres of Brumbies here.

THE CULTURAL IMPORTANCE OF BRUMBIES

The wild horses of the Australian Alps are arguably the strongest cultural icons. The enduring legacy of...

The Man from Snowy River, both the iconic Banjo Paterson poem and the 1980s film, but also the Silver Brumby series of novels by Elyne Mitchell, still in print after nearly 70 years, idealise the strength, beauty and spirit of wild mountain horses. At least one source suggests that “the man” from Paterson’s poem was in fact a young Aboriginal rider.

Perhaps our task is to harmonise ourselves with these old and new environments, not continually attempt to “manage” them into some other state that we in our hubris think is more desirable, whether ecologically, economically or culturally.

Quotes from "Friday essay: the cultural meanings of wild horses" by Michael Adams, Associate Professor of Human Geography, University of Wollongong.
