The New South Wales government wants to introduce aerial shooting to control feral horses in the Kosciusko National Park. The brumby population has grown by almost a third in the past two years, with 14 to 23 thousand horses estimated to be living across the park. Consultation on the proposed cull opens today, with aerial shooting an option alongside trapping, re-homing, and ground shooting. The invasive species council says inaction on the horse population has led to the destruction of sensitive ecosystems.
