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.

#MOHM THREATENED?
We’ve been threatened by those in the horse racing industry and those who benefit from horse slaughter more times than we can count.
But we are not going away.
We are going to persist until horse slaughter no longer exists for any purpose within Australia -- and until the horse racing industry makes drastic changes.
We are going to continue our hands-on work to offer lifelong sanctuary to as many horses as possible. We generally have 20 at just one of our locations - at any given time.
We have the acreage to take on more horses as financial support allows.
