Australia begins a cull of thousands of wild horses, known as brumbies, in Kosciuszko National Park in New South Wales this week, according to reporting from the Daily Mail. The operation uses helicopter-based marksmen to locate and shoot the animals across the park. The coverage says the cull is planned as a major effort targeting the brumbie population in the area. Activists respond with criticism and fury over the approach and the use of aerial shooting. The articles frame the decision and its execution as a point of public dispute, with animal welfare campaigners opposing the culling method and the broader policy. The reports do not provide detailed figures beyond describing “thousands” of animals, nor do they include counter-arguments from government or wildlife officials in the supplied excerpts. Overall, the sources agree that the cull is scheduled to start imminently in Kosciuszko National Park and that it involves helicopter snipers, drawing significant backlash from activist groups.
