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.

MODERATORS
Only thing that can stop a bad horse is a good guy with a gun.
The good guys need helicopters too.
We can probably do the same with people who destroy the environment as well
Time to get gluin'
Stick with the plan!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
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.
The Australian Veterinary Association cited its support for aerial and ground shooting as a control method, given the large numbers of feral horses in Australia's landscape.
Indigenous Ambassador of the Invasive Species Council Richard Swain told the inquiry feral horses should not be protected.
The New South Wales government's aim is to reduce the number of wild horses in Kosciuszko from an estimated 18,000 to 3,000 by 2027 by using rehoming, trapping and ground shooting.
Today's public hearing revealed that more than 2,000 feral horses had been removed from Kosciuszko National Park under the current management plan.
"There has been an external review and it found that our staff are prioritising welfare at every stage," NSW Environment and Heritage representative Atticus Fleming said.
