Wild Horses Are Being Gunned
Down and Terrorized Inside an Australian National
Park | | |
The
New South Wales government in Australia has approved a
trial policy of shooting wild horses to death.
Even worse, it's claiming this cull is somehow
humane!
Authorities are specifically
targeting feral horses living inside Kosciuszko national
park, a place that wild animals should be
able to consider safe.
This supposedly "humane"
cull involves terrorizing horses, chasing them with
helicopters, then gunning them down from the sky with a
"repeat shooting" policy. On average, each horse
was shot upwards of seven times. Some had as
many as 15 bullet wounds.
Culls aren't only
terrifying for animals, they're also ineffective. And
the New South Wales government should know that. It
first began trying to cull feral horses back in 2021,
but the population of wild horses has only increased
since then.
So
it's chasing and gunning down these animals — for what?
Clearly not for population control, since
history has shown this tactic doesn't even
work.
Sign the petition to demand
the New South Wales government abandon its cruel horse
slaughter scheme!
