Aerial killing of wild horses has been conducted with the support of government and the RSPCA in the state of Queensland in Australia.
Australia could not have been settled without the help of these wonderful animals. The wild Brumby is an integral part of our cultural heritage. In peace and war they have given their hearts and lives for us.
We, the undersigned, are greatly concerned at this inhumane and cruel method of slaughter. Of particular concern is the slaughter of mares due to foal and mares with newborn foals at foot. There exist more humane ways to lower the numbers (where necessary) of these highly intelligent, hardy and beautiful animals. We the undersigned request an immediate end to aerial culling of wild horses.

If we are judged by the way that we treat childred, the eldery and animals, what does this say about the Australian Government's decision in this matter???

I always thought Australians to be more civilized than this. Shooting horses is barbaric. Find another solution!

Please consider that these animals only exist in Australia because we, humankind, brought them there. If they cause us problems now, we should put up and shut up, or at the very least, resolve the issue without harm to the creatures which helped humans to colonise the inhospitable land. Contraception maybe? And not just for the horses.

they still shoot horses, don't they... a real shame that man's most noble friend should be treated that way... may love and life be their part, and the noble ones in this fight win...

I believe that the methods being used to reduce the numbers of these horses is unnecessary and inhumane. Same of these may require being put down for various reasons but a large majority would become useful riding horses as I have seen from the horses that have been trapped in NSW and have been handled correctly.
