67 HORSES SHOT
We are NOT including graphic photos on this blog post, BUT if you decide to click through to the original article on the link provided AFTER the text below, there are photos that may be upsetting to some.
Scroll down to learn what you can do, no matter where in the word you live to make a difference for Australia’s iconic Brumbies.
Grisly discovery of 67 wild horses shot in Kosciuszko National Park
“The horses are doomed, they’re doomed and frankly I despair there’s nothing that can be done to protect them.”
Peter Cochran had just viewed graphic photos of the latest ground shooting cull of brumbies, or wild horses, in Kosciuszko National Park. In Canberra on Friday, bound for a campdraft at Willinga Park, he decided to turn around and head back home.
He confirmed an estimated 67 carcasses were this week discovered laying en masse on the vast Snowy Plain at the heart of the national park – some with stomach shots, others shot multiple times and scores of mares with bubbled rear protrusions that were spontaneously aborted foals.
“It is bloody horrible this, the result of what is supposed to be humane culling in a sub-alpine – not alpine – area and some of those horses would have had slow agonising deaths, which is probably why they had to be shot twice,” Peter said.

We have copied an article above AND CONTINUED IT BELOW.
Again, we have intentionally NOT included the graphic pictures of massacred horses from the article so it is safe to keep scrolling down.
If you wish to see the graphic photos, they are here.

Are YOU upset about this massacre and like us questioning if the so-called count of brumbies is anywhere near accurate?
NOTE: Here’s an independent biostatistical report [PDF] by Claire Galea, (there are NOT any gory pictures on the PDF) that states:
“There are concerning flaws in the methodology and statistical modelling of the population estimates of wild horses in the Kosciuszko.
Based on this analysis it is impossible to have any confidence in the population estimates provided.”
__________
Are you as horrified as we are that the way in which these brumbies were shot in no way resembles humane euthanasia?
“… some with stomach shots, others shot multiple times and scores of mares with bubbled rear protrusions that were spontaneously aborted foals.”
Are you like us and also distressed that the bodies of these brumbies were left to provide food for feral pigs and feral dogs? Abundant food results in larger litters.
How is leaving their bodies to be scavenged environmentally friendly?
There are so many things wrong with this situation.
So, what can YOU do to make a difference?
