We have to find the best outcome for all animals in Kosciuszko National Park – both native and non-native. 

The NSW Government’s Kosciusko Wild Horse Management Plan is focussed on brutally aerially killing horses instead of evidence-based, non-lethal solutions, namely, funding rescue groups to rehome animals and fertility control trials. This is despite serious concerns about the accuracy of the data on the number of horses currently residing in the park. It also completely ignores the more serious threats to native animals in Kosciuszko such as climate change, diseases such as chytrid fungus and habitat loss caused by human development.   

We need a new plan - one that is focussed on humane, non-lethal solutions that balance the interests of all animals in Kosciuszko.

Immunocontraceptive trials must begin urgently. Horses continue to suffer horrific deaths, native animals remain under threat, and communities are stressed about animal cruelty.

The Animal Justice Party will always fight for protection against harm for every animal, no matter how popular or unpopular they are. Aerial shooting is inhumane, and it is not supported by the community who cares deeply about animals.

SIGN MY PETITION TO STOP THE KILLING OF BRUMBIES

A wild horse has the same capacity to feel pain and fear as a native animal, and their lives deserve the same level of dignity and respect. We need to find a way to protect the native animals at risk, AND the horses – in fact, we have a duty to do so.
