it’s sad when you realize how much of a nightmare Australia must be for animals; live export, wool trade, beef cattle, pest culling. It’s really horrible

Funny how the Australian equivalent of the Labour party does so many bad things to animals when the British one banned hunting, is the only party with vegan MPs, almost banned debeaking etc.

Helicopter shooting has been banned but sadly some people prefer to overlook this

I’ve found some links with information about several brumby culls that have already happened and I am going to try and write a letter to the environment minister, Kate Jones.

Here’s some info

I’m going to try and organize some events in Adelaide but I’m not exactly sure when I can.

What can we do to stop this? Do you have any links with information so we can contact our local Australian embassies?

I was skimming through some info on brumbies and I found out that the Australian government organised a secret brumby cull! I was really shocked and I hear that they’re planning more! I’m just really horrified by what they do to them and they don’t even check if they are dead or not [which most of them aren't because a machine gun isn't very accurate from a helicopter] and they just leave them to die of exposure or be eaten by other animals, or live with a life long disability. It’s really sad how mother horses won’t eat, and won’t leave their babies after they’ve died, and how foals won’t leave their mums
wow, that was longer than I expected to write but I’m just so angry!
