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.
