  • they should be left alone to do what they were made to do in the wild, i love horse and belive it is wrong to shoot them.

  • Sorry who left these horses after the war....HUMANS

  • horses are asking for it! if only they could behave themselves in an apropriate manner rather than arogantly prancing around like they run the place! its about time they learnt to curb their wild instincts! bless them xxx

  • it may not be fesiable to domesticate or castrate but when u have idiots that wana shoot them cause they can its better to domesticate what can be. i no its not allways feisable and its costly but there are better options then shooting em. We dont say we r getting over populated by imigrents in sydney lets hang out of chopers and shoot them ? mabe we should shoot every thing thats not native to australia including 90% of the human population. lets start with the idiots that think it a good idea

  • i don't see what's the problem with a big population with wild horses. they aren't like attacking towns now are they? +_+

  • So in case of overpupulation in cities the will shooting people?

    Girls you need to take out you government from their chairs :)

  • We Really Need To Help The Horses. We Can't Just Watch Them Die.

  • jou do good work girl ;)

  • We are dealing with similiar problems in the US. Roundups going on all the time. Wild Horses in holding pens for years or sent to slaughter. Horses are beautiful creatures and bring a lot of joy to those who enjoy watching them in the wild. No excuses for any Country that does not protect them.

  • @LLreflections

    I wonder if SNMmountains ever considers the massively destructive habits of us humans upon the land when he tries to blame the Horses for ruining the environment.

    Probably not!

  • actually, people still catch brumbies. it's hard to break in wild horses than foals growing up among humans

    there are other ways to control a species. not slaughtering. imagine killing another human being in the same way, it's the same thing with any animal. animals have rights too.

  • this video made me cry WHY DID THEY FUCKING KILL HORSES IN THE FIRST PLACE THEY DIDNT NEED TO DIE WHAT DID THEY EVER DO TO US!!!!!!!

  • hi. every year we go to mount Kosciusko national park in nsw and still go save about 15 foals and take them home and brake them in . if you go to my youtube i have 2 vids for them :D in 2009 they were still shooting from helicopters :/ i saw it. it is so sad so i decided to take things in to my own hands.

  • I believe Brumbie runner's should be allowd to catch them.

    ... It's just wroung to shoot them! It's terrible...

  • they do it to kangaroos to 

  • these horse ar ferral and damaging our environment so why not domesticate and casterate them instead of shoting them.

  • @nomerae unfortunately not always possible or feasable

  • @nomerae often a horse has a worse life if it´s domesticated. When you look in a the eyes of a wild horse you see another brillant view. Often horses were broken afer capture. In the beatiful vid Cloud the woman rides a broken horse fron this wild herd too. It was so strange to look this, because she makes the wonderful film but she´s nothing realize the sadness of her own horse it was captured from the wild

  • @Kore1960 I am the proud owner of bumbys and have the light full experienc of braking in they definantly have a diffrent mind frame all together i have also been able to witness them in there beautie in the wild i definantly agree with u.

  • @nomerae yes, I think there exists a lot of people, they are nice to them. I want only say, that´s often horse haven´t a nice life by humans, and for a horse it was free it´s often very hard...

  • @nomerae BECASUE THEY HAVE AS MUCH RIGHT AS ANYONE ELSE

    !!! they live here to when we go to capture them we are on there land brumbies are the heart and soul of australia take the brumbies away what would we be without them. Horses are the amazing creatures of the outback they should be protected they are not feral and how are they damaging the enviroment the brumbies are the least or our problem instead of trying to capture them we should focusing on more important things

  • @nomerae you are such an idiot they belong here more than you people

  • @21cs16311 when u have idiots that wana shoot them cause they can its better to domesticate what can be. i no its not allways feisable and its costly but there are better options then shooting em. I dont no how u an call me an idiot when im atleast standing up for them insead of living with my head in the sand like u. They do have more right to be here then most of us and what exactlydo u mean you people.

  • @nomerae I mean that they belong here and that they should be wild,

    and if theire should be to many then you could domesticate some of them

    and not like some want to shoot them all because that's easy.

  • @21cs16311 how do they belong there? they were imported. that is like putting Kangaroos in Africa and saying the belong there

  • @21cs16311 How does this work you dick? They are introduced?

  • @nomerae people don't care about that. all they care about is "pretty animals are being victemized" castration and adoption is as mean as killing them. They want these horses to live free as if they were kangaroo or wombat.

  • this sickens me. those horses should be brought into captivity instead of shot and killed. im pretty sure there are sanctuarys, like she said.

  • i saw wild mustangs in arizona they are beatiful i saw foals to i saw the whole pack! they were amazing i didnt have my camera with me! poop

  • them there are killing wild horses are FUCKING RETARDED MONKEYS

  • @Kelly2357 well your so called naitive people that like to burn everything that burns in order to eat every mamall and reptile they could get they hands on did interrrupt the balance of nature before them australia was a very different place . we all aware what horses have done for us . there will always be a place in my heart for them ..................

  • @OzAnimals5  just like easter island.

  • b.....

    

  • Good video sad to see what is happening

  • The world needs more caring people like you :-) thanks for posting this video i never knew it was so bad poor brumbies :-(

  • I may be from America...but if I had enough money and enough volunteers, I would do what ever I could to help stop this horrible tragedy. Shame on the government!

  • 11 People missed the whole point about this video

  • I saw the part that said this may be disturbing and i thought mabe i should read the caption and i saw that so i imediatly stopped

  • Comment removed

  • omg thats so sad and cruel how can u do that like shame i love animals thank u so much for sharing x

  • Congrats thts all great info

  • amazing video thanks for sharing.

  • Please continue on helping and spreading the word! your amazing!!!

  • To not allow anyone to claim and train/own one, rather slay them and leave them for dead is...in fact, beyond hateful. I hope there is a special place in hell for those that do these things to these beautiful, innocent, and defenseless creatures. There are a lot of so-called humans that are running loose in this world that need euthanised!!! Life is so precious... especially ones that are so innocent :)

  • the BLM catches wild horses and burros and leaves hundreds dead and injured, sign the free petition to stop 2011 roundup-

    thepetitionsite(dot)com/1/stop­-2011-roundup/

  • austrailia is at the point america was at a couple years ago. shooting wild mustangs...its just disgusting. america still rounds them up, and were still working on it. i wish everyone would realize that killing is not the answer.

  • what DOES the government know how to control? they're retards with a degree. whooopie.. i like the video, it's educational!

  • @91CocoaNuts glad you like it :) it took me a while to make...

  • Thats really sad.Funny where Youtube can lead you. I was just looking up the movie Appalosa and I ended here.. I'm not even the biggest animal lover but I can't stand to hear something like this. I hate the fact that so many dogs and cats are euthanized here in the USA. Thanks to the Human society & others there are more adoptions. I hope something has changed since this video was made.

  • @lpride1 - yeh people just don't handle things the way they should. Unfortunately it hasn't changed over here yet.. they just keep the cullings away from the press. but they still happen :(

  • It's so sad, they're so beautiful, how can people be so cruel to such majestic animals

  • That not right.Herd them casterate all males.It is mean to mame and ruine cause your inconciderate of life by nature.Adoption would work if we had no cars.You see we are not any longer dependant on horse.But we do owe them decancy.

  • That not right.Herd them casterate all males.It is mean to mame and ruine cause your inconciderate of life by nature.

  • how cruel

  • @caleb1808 - shooting them from helicopter is not the answer though. They die slowly and painfully as the shooters can not get a decent shot.

  • There has to be a better way than culling that way. Its cruel. And I can't believe the RSPCA supported it. Sure we can't let there numbers to get to uncontrollable levels and I know they damage the environment but surely there is a better way!

  • hey! i have that picture on my wall!, 0:14

  • they are so fit, and hardly any of the wold horse I have seen so far had major morphological defect! it is a shame the oz government rather likes to shoot them than to give them a chance and let people get one to save it. Better, they should let them live, their only explanation is water and food shortage due to the massive production of COWS AND SHEEP THEY EXPORT therefore anything "feral" is in concurrence on thefood line (of money making..)

    Thank you for this video stickybeak4eva

  • @BuellF - I have a few friends that own brumbies and their parents have said they wouldn't go for any other type of horse after owning one. Just goes to show how good they can be. You're welcome :) thankyou for taking the time to support it

  • a great video you seem to have definitely done your research. I totally agree with it and I was only 1hr away from that horrific NSW shooting. I heard about it on tv when it was too late it had me in absolute tears.

    There is one thing that may make you feel better. Due to some very caring and active groups and sanctuaries brumbies as a breed will never become extinct. But we still need to protect the wild ones.

    They may not have come from Aus but theyve been here long enough to be native

  • @ArchAngelRescues - Thankyou, yeh I put quite a few hours of research into it. That would have been horrible :( I only read about it and even THAT had me in tears.

    I'm glad they wont ever be extinct... but it's still horrible that they do this to them. We're not native to Australia so why aren't we classed as feral?

  • Australia is indeed a barbaric country. Whites in Australia are savages from Europe.

  • Brumbies doesn't derves to died... :( they're beautiful horses on Austrlia. why can't anyone understand that HORSES has a life and a future? for thoses who THINK horses are crazy and insane animals? they're not... SOME that really nice and loving. and Some aren't...For the ones that cares they WILL help. for the ones that doesn't. they don't care.

    Horses depend on our love,trust,friendship,care,fai­th,courage and most of all freedom.

    They SHOULD stop slaughtering them. they did nothing WRONG.

  • have u heard about that cul there doing now they r going to round up to about 5 000 a year send themto SA then from there ship them to france and other european countries for food i hate it

  • @Horseloverkooder I don't think it is exactly France... Most "horse meat" company are Belgian. Beware that most horse meat consumption is in southern europe, especially Italy and Slovenia + neighboors.. Belgian's attitude toward horses is a shame for the meat market, it has long been protested against. However, I tried to save a horse here in France a man had in his field (he is a sort of relay for horses to gain weight before going to the slaughter house), I came to see the horse to enquire

  • @Horseloverkooder (2nd part) and the man told me it is too late, it was gone in "the truck" two days ago.. well that truck aimed to Italy. He gets horses from breeding regions in France or truck from Poland, or race horses, and once they are a bit fed, they leave to Italy for the slaughter house. That is now the main market in Europe, though the companies (that you find in South America too) are belgian. It is a shame, I saved 3 horses myself already, can't help them all unfortunately

  • @Horseloverkooder Just one last point, I saw in Slovenia a shop (Ljubljana) called the HOT HORSE. I was wondering what it was, well, just a normal snack food place like any hotdog dealer, except that all meat here was from horses... I was horrified how normal it was to hear as an explain to that "a man had an old horse and he decided to give him a nice role as to turn him into sandwiches so the horse could provide food for a quantity of person, which is pretty nice to do for a old horse" beuah!

  • @Horseloverkooder - Yeh :( it's horrible. i hate that one of Australia's only slaughter houses for horses is in my very own state. Heartbreaking.

  • @stickybeak4eva There are quite a few around. Even suburban Melbourne has one.

  • Their hard hooves destroy the natural lands of Australia and what have humans been doing to the land for the past 200 years - nurturing it????

  • thankyou, good video and has helped me with my own assignment cuz i needed to get all my ideas together.

    good work on ur assignment, hope you got a good mark,

  • @Tashibaify - You're welcome, glad it helped you :) I think it's great you've done a similar assignment. Yes I did get a good mark, but I only used school as an excuse to make this. I'd been wanting to make a video about it for a while and the assignment just gave me the perfect opportunity

  • brumbies arent iconic 2 australia

    lol but dont worry

    i support u

    cause i hav a pet brumbie

  • Like with any shooting the hunter should be forced to confirm a kill. The governments will never agree to drugs over cheap ammo.

  • Like with any shooting the hunter should be forced to confirm a kill. The governments will never agree to drugs over cheap ammo.

  • Australia has the largest population of wild horses in the world. I love horses, I own horses and I hate to see Brumbies shot. How ever they are considered a pest, they were introduced. Their hard hooves destroy the natural lands of Australia since it developed without hard hoofed animals until they were brought in. Much like the camels, their hooves destroy precious grasses and plant life for native animals to feed, they destroy farmers crops amongst a large list of other things.

  • @prokofeiv

    A lot of our native animal species are struggling to survive because they don't have enough food due to the Brumbies and with the country in drought things are only getting harder, especially for our farmers. I understand we all love these animals but they are destroying the land and our native animals. Their numbers have become intolerable for our lands.

  • @prokofeiv

    I agree shooting is not humane, but we need to find ways to stop their population growing.

  • @prokofeiv - But don't cattle do just the same damage if not worse?

  • For those interested, on facebook saveourbrumbiesSA, there is an entry made by Juli Stanley. She is working to start a Ride to bring public awareness to the plight of the Brumbies. She is in Port Augusta, Australia; please check her facebook out.

  • Great video! The problem here is that there are more horses than adoptive homes. If someone can come up with a better way to cull them, please, let the Government know.

  • @mtardiff - Thankyou. I had an address somewhere to write to the government, however I've misplaced it. But i'm sure if anyone wants to contact the government (and do not hesitate to!) you should be able to find the address on the net

  • this an amazing video..i didnt know about this at all! its so cruel and i wonder how pple could do that? thats for sharing this!!! if i was your teacher i would give u and A+

  • @horseluver101ily - thankyou so much. Yeh when i first read about it I was heartbroken. People just don't care. You're welcome

  • @OzAnimals5 And brumbys too are under threat. They are now native- they have been there for so long. Who decided what animals can be killed and which ones are more important and must be protected? It's complete hipocracy. And so what if they are "feral", it's called being WILD AND FREE. They have just as much right to a life in the wild as any other animal. And humans do much more damage to the land and native animals, by ruining their natural habitat.

  • so do the mustangs of america. 1 herd is gone, and soon another. Why do they do this to our horses?

  • wats stupid is i dought theres 10000 wild horses in australia i live perth wat i rekon is if they really cnt keep them pwn them break them and make thim in to ridable horse theyd make great stoick horses 2

  • all animals should be treated the same

    with respect and kindness, even the US gov. is guilty of this sort of thing all because of greed. they try and push their veiws in the schools and this tactic is working. we as the people should speak up against this sort of thing, make pettions, get people to march, make vchange happen!

    viva la revelution!

  • Thankyou for sharing this!

  • did you know there is actually a brumby rescue in armidale, nsw they need all the donations they can get to go to queensland and bring brumbys to their rescue and then they sell them but they also have a brumby stud

    so go cheek out the website @ savethebrumbiesaustralia

    you can also adopt orphan foals from there

  • @shellosaurus - Yes they are a fantastic organisation!

  • We have the same problem here in the States since Obama repealed the executive order by Bush prohibiting the capture and sale of wild mustangs to meat-packers in Canada and Mexico. Then the horse meat is labeled as "beef", shipped back into the United States and sold to unsuspecting consumers as beef. Ten, of course, the freed up range can be sold off by the government to pay all the debt Obama is running up. The mustang will be extinct in a few years under this Obama policy.

  • @Sonoraman Its incredible just what some people will post on YouTube, or how gullible the public is when it comes to animals, esp. horses. I really have no idea where you get your facts from, but the horses slaughtered in Canada are NOT labelled as beef & sold back to the US (this is the most laughable of the latest US-based anti-Canadian beef propaganda that I have heard thus far!). Anyone who believes your claim is just as ignorant & misinformed as you are.

  • this blows, i just wrote a great comment and then realised that your only allowed too write minimal santences, but i agree that they shouldnt cull the brumbies the way they do, i have chased and caught them since i was about 8 yrs old, and rode in a ute when i was younger and witnessed them in the mountains. I believe they are an important part of our Australian heritage and should be conserved, but i dont like how foreigners throw there 2 cents in believing they know the best remedy!!!!

  • i agree with neutering stallions and keeping a tab on horses.

    im writing a book that is based in new shouth wales and i needed research :D

    thanks!

  • @angel7500 - You're welcome! How is it coming along???

  • frickin horses

  • so sad

  • yer I saw that show. How was that bay mare!!! Brumbies are so awesome!!!!

  • I love horses but I do not think they should be treated like that that is just horible the horses sould live they were here longer then humans

  • For those who don't know, a brumby is an australian wild or feral horse. Basically an australian mustang, but anyway WE MUST DO SOMETHING. A constant check should be kept on the brumbies that does not involve killing, why can't the government make sure the horses are put up for adoption and I thought the RSPCA was supposed to HELP ANIMALS!

  • Yeh, the RSPCA doesn't WANT to, yet they still approve it... if you live in Australia watch the RSPCA Animal Rescue on Channel 7 at 7:30 this coming Tuesday (29th Sep) they're gonna show some rounding up on there :)

  • @stickybeak4eva Do you know if this video is available on the internet now somewhere? Thank you, cheers

  • @BuellF sorry, when I meant the video available I meant the Animal Rescue program from RSPCA that you mentionned on channel 7 in Oz (11months ago :/)

    And just to show you what I meant about the market of horse meat, it is very important in Asia and Southern Europe. I am not saying French people don't eat horse meat, but they eat less than what anglosaxon countries believe they do.

    Please watch the two videos I give you the link to.

    Hope you'll find a way to protect the beautifull brumbie.

  • @SaphiraHorse while there is a certain kind of merit with adoption, the issue is that there is a higher population of feral horses in australia then there is people. so not practical. and unlike the americas, where horses were wiped out, and then reintroduced. The australia cant cope with large animals. the biggest native animal was the red kangeroo, now its now the 12th. australian has a boom and bust period, and their is no cull system that is as ruthless as a drought.

  • WTF IS A  BRUMBIE GURL

  • Comment removed

  • Australia has more wild horses than any other country. I love Brumbies but I understand the devastating effect they have had on our lands. Horses are not native so our soils don't handle their hard hooves well which makes competition for food hard for a lot of our native animals. But I do believe there are surely other ways we could help control their numbers rather than slaughter.

  • i lived in Australia for my whole life and i love horses. i love the country too and now im in america and i hate it here. i agree with you. we need to do something!

  • i love it

  • you're an inspiration

  • I do believe you just made my day :) thankyou!

  • This is so inhunmane !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • rspca suck dont do a thing my horses is a brumby he was on his way to be slaughtered with the rest of his heard when the victorian brumby association saved them all.

  • OMG...this is as bad as Japan killing dolphins unmercilfully!

    Horses should be a protected species, as they are so inquisitive & forgiving. Not to forget beautiful.
