An Australian community for everything from your backyard to beyond the black stump.

Topics may include Aussie plants and animals, environmental, farming, energy, and climate news and stories (mostly Aus specific), etc. New related communities will be split off when required, think like subcommunities that exist on that other platform.

Trigger Warning: Community contains mostly bad environmental news (not by choice!). Community may also feature stories about animal agriculture and/or meat. Until tagging is available, please be aware and click accordingly.

A Senate committee is being urged to take a stronger stance on reducing wild horse numbers in the Australian Alps.

The Senate inquiry aims to find the best approach to reduce the population of feral horses, and will examine whether laws implemented by state and territory governments are adequate.

Indigenous Ambassador of the Invasive Species Council Richard Swain told the inquiry feral horses should not be protected.

"It's 2023 and for cultural reasons we're protecting a feral horse in a national park," he said.

Just open a hunting season, this isn't a hard problem

We can probably do the same with people who destroy the environment as well

Only thing that can stop a bad horse is a good guy with a gun.

The good guys need helicopters too.
