Penny Sharpe MLC, has overturned a ban of aerial shooting of wild horses in NSW national parks that has been in place for 23 years - and on Monday 6 November 2023, the aerial slaughter and murder of these iconic brumbies is to begin. 

Our Australian Brumbies were specifically used as war-horses for the First and Second World Wars and the Boer War in South Africa as well as for mounts used in the gold rush days and as police horses.

Their use as war-horses is testament to their good temperament, sure footedness and resilience. Horses from the Northern Tablelands of NSW were captured and bred for the remount trade and were known as Walers; the brumbies roaming free today can be traced back to those early bloodlines.

Are we going to just stand by & see the Kosciuszko brumbies shot from the air?  And those that are not killed outright, but maimed and injured, left to die where they lay - a cruel and painful death?  

If this slaughter is allowed to continue, the Australian Brumby is at risk of becoming extinct.

Please sign and share this petition as soon as possible so that we can put a stop to this senseless, barbaric slaughter.
