WORLD WORLDWIDE ANIMALS AUSTRALIA THE NEW SOUTH WALES care2PETITIONS News Journal Update - Stop the brutal cull of wild horses in Australia's national park.

 

They go up in helicopters and shoot wild horses up to 15 times each. Wild Horses Are Being Gunned Down and Terrorized Inside an Australian National Park Sign Now    Dear friends, 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!   Thank you, Miranda Care2 Petitions Team P.S. Stand up for animal welfare and tell the New South Wales government to end this cruel "repeat shoot" culling policy. Sign the petition.      Sign Now
