I live in the USA 🇺🇸 and in the state of Tennessee, I love horses and have owned horses for a huge part of my 63 years here. I appreciate what your doin and you have God's blessings upon you and Tennessee's horse lovers support. God bless you, hope you get the city and the government out of the picture. The horses deserve to run free.
I had the pleasure of meeting Ms Buckley yesterday at the Save the Brumby protests. I hope these people are successful in their plight to save the iconic brumby. We love our brumbies.
Keep fighting! I'm here in America and with you in this fight! My heart goes out to solving this horrible corruption! Its time we start standing up! To protect our wild places, our planet, ourselves and family Members and to the future children that inherit the earth n
Great presentation You had my heart beating wildly wishing I was there with you all riding bringing the horses in. What a wonderful life you live. I love the work you are all doing.
I fully agree with other introduced spices & ski resorts etc also having an environmental impact to the park but the wild horses are also part of that issue as well and something has to be done about it, their numbers have only grown & have had a larger effect upon the park so something needs to change. Can't just be tied down to romantic idolatry
The brumby numbers have not grown and are at extinction levels. The method used to calculate numbers was based on sighting brumbies and multiplying that number by the total land volume. This results in a gross exaggeration of brumby numbers as brumbies do not exist across the total land volume.
@@judymedway3294 One of the main ways humans cause damage to the landscape is through the invasive species we have introduced. We brought them here so we have a responsibility to manage them. The survey method uses an international and Australian aerial standard for large animals. It is not controversial. The survey count was based upon observations in 4 blocks of the national park which made up only 40% of the land area. Areas not surveyed were assumed to have zero horses. The estimate of 14,000 is an underestimate if anything. The information and survey method is also freely available as opposed to black magic numbers that the likes of Peter Cochrane pull out of their arse.
Seen a few people comment about why we should save these Horses as they are not native. I think they might want to remember that this country we live on as it is today would not be in our hands. With out the Thousands upon Thousands of these animals that not only help to make the foundation for how we live today but carried our fighters into battle and lost their lives during the war. So how about instead of making comments about Cane toads.... That did nothing for our society... We remember what these animals have done. FOR US.
The feral horses we deal with today did nothing in war service for our nation. That is a common falsehood used by the feral horse advocates to place reverence on these mongrels that doesn't exist. You want them saved? You rehome the thousands that are in the national park.
this was in the news today , the people in charge of the cull are just shooting and leaving the Brumbies to bleed out , this is pure evil animal cruelty 😭😭😭😭🤬🤬🤬🤬
Wat can we do to help to save our brumby our heritage our memories.they call them feral animals have a look in parliament. U don't get more feral than that.wat can we do to help.
Sonia, as usual the bureaucrats in Spring Street have not undertaken adequate research to determine a reliable figure for the numbers of brumbies in the high country. Furthermore there is more damage being done by the wild pigs, deer, foxes and wild (hybrid) dogs than by the brumbies. I have seen brumbies in the wild and they are magnificent animals. If their numbers are excessive, then the government should first try to round them up and tame them for resettlement in an good home where they will be well looked after. Aerial culling is the worst method anyone could employ. I support your initiative and I'm sure many Australians would support you as well.
A lot of the brumby supports go back to the early settlers of Colonial Australia. The brumbies are part of their cultural heritage. The brumbies have been in the high country for over 160 years, way before national parks existed. The high country deserve to be in on the conversation to preserve and save our brumbies from government actions of killing when there are humane methods for relocation, rescue, sanctuary already implemented and waiting for government to step up and support them in humane brumby management. This issue could so easily be a win win for all if only goverment would listen to the will of the people and not be so blinded by greens and discrimination. It is time for the Australian government to become more humane in it's treatment towards animals and the people who support the brumby cause. The brumbies are heritage horses, some of the oldest pure bloodlines of wild horse are carried in the DNA of our brumbies. It is a crime to kill them when there are so many humane options available to save them while acknowledging the recent wishes of national parks for brumby removal. Work with the rescues, sanctuaries, rehomes. Slaughter, shooting, killing are cruel, inhumane and barbaric methods belonging to the history books. It is time government took responsible humane approaches working with the people who know the brumbies, have worked beside them for over a centuary, generation to generation. Government needs to admit it is not the authority on knowledge, the rescues, sanctuaries and high country people are. Government could stop spending public money on trying to justifying their killing of brumbies and give this to the brumby rescues, sanctuaries, adopting a proactive approach to working with the brumby supporters who have the best interests of the brumbies at heart.
And believe or not, all of the currently threatened native fauna and vegetation communities were also here before national parks. And Europeans…160 years is bloody meaningless in any context other than several generations of humans hung up on a bloody poem and an overriding desire to tame nature
@@Sebadoh95 All life is sentinel even some humans who lack basic levels of humane reasoning and go around judging what life form is deserving of life over another. All life has been introduced to this country. All deserving of being treated with respect and duty of care.
Yes, Great presentation and so reasonable and good willed. Pray the brumby targeters will listen and accept this invitation. As an ecologist I know that the horses can contribute many major benefits to an ecosystem, including catastrophic wildfire prevention.
On what grounds are you calling yourself an ecologist? Are you saying that with a straight face? Horses offer no benefit to an environment where they haven’t evolved.
@@Sebadoh95 come on Alexei, Craig knows what he's talking about, horses benefit the ecosystem by destroying headwaters of catchments, destroying habitat, destroying native vegetation, spreading weeds, any ecologist could've told you that!!

Educate yourself on the context of what the FERAL horses are doing to the land that they were introduced to
Save the indigenous species.
Is that the same for people?
I had the pleasure of meeting Ms Buckley yesterday at the Save the Brumby protests. I hope these people are successful in their plight to save the iconic brumby. We love our brumbies.
It's Not Food It's Violence 💔💔💔💔💔💔💔💔😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

Great presentation
You had my heart beating wildly wishing I was there with you all riding
bringing the horses in.
What a wonderful life you live.
I love the work you are all doing.
It came out so good
yeah it did!
I'm glad to see this. Thankyou Ms Buckley, your a champion
save the brumbies
they can do that without tit for tat, of going around killing animals that had no say in where they were born.
The link provided doesn't work. It gives a dead page. Can you please take another look at it so we can donate.
Thank you!❤

Agreed.
The numbers are way low. Lies have been told
Don't listen to the narrative

How can I help. I am a 3rd generation horse trainer, and I have money to invest in this. How do I help with rehoming the brumbies?
Great initiative!!!!!

what is the instrumental on this?
Thanks Sonia very informative

Save our Brumbies, the government wants to "eradicate" them, still.
Getting the public involved, especially young people...that's how Velma did it. This is outside my service area but wishing you great success!
