Australia's brumbies deserve better.m4v

Wild horses are under threat around the world. While many wonderful organisations work tirelessly to find them sponsors or people to adopt them, so many more of these beautiful horses are captured and sent for pet food or, worse, shot for sport or for financial gain from specific body parts. They didn't ask to brought to many of the lands they now inhabit. And they only do what they must to survive. Surely we can do more to ensure that they are treated with the dignity and love that all living creatures deserve. These wild horses have no voice except the one given to them by people who care.

The joke of a human being that posted this video needs to realise the impact that feral animals have in Australia. I guess if you take the view that feral animals should be allowed to stay then maybe you should start a group that is for the conservation and preservation of cane toads, foxes, wild cats and dogs, pigs, indian mynas, starlings, and rats. Just because they're horses doesn't mean that they should be protected. They should killed humanely, just like every other feral species.

I don't think culling is necessarily the answer, but it is definitely kinder to humanely euthanise the animals than leave them to starve or succumb to disease or injury Better yet, geld all male horses and let them breed out over the course of 1 generation.

Yes, out of sight, out of mind. It's a wonder the RSPCA, and Bob Brown for instance, considering how concerned he and his Greens are about the environment, doesn't step in to help alleviate the cruelty.

That's why we run cattle in Australia, they will get fat next to a horse starving to death. A horses eats grass only, as you can see we don't have much Native Grasses so they die surrounded by food they are unable to eat. Do THEM a favour or close your eyes when it gets dry...

Hey rubywhisper why did you pull the Carlos tabernaberri video?

[jordan567890]

There are 400,000 of these things... I'd say they are doing fine. The theme of the video seems to be that they were better off enslaved than free??

In terms of their long term survival - Australia is 0-30 against invasive species (30 invasive species, 0 successfully exterminated) - they'll be fine. Did you know that there are a million feral camels in Australia.

@scottieduncan1 you forgot to mention the feral bogan rednecks of the human species.....they do the as much damage, if not more, not only to the environment but to others as well....

ps just because the 'human that posted this video' doen not share your opinion does not make him a 'joke'. You come across like the species I just mentioned...
