The release of the first data on a new wild horse control strategy in the Kosciuszko National Park has failed to please environmentalists or brumby advocates.
An environmental group claims the wild horse management plan in Kosciuszko National Park will fail unless there is a significant increase in the number of brumbies being removed.The National Parks and Wildlife Service has removed 334 horses from Kosciuszko National Park
The National Parks and Wildlife Service removed 334 horses between February and June this year but would not say what happened to the animals. "We have 14,000 feral horses in Kosciuszko National Park and that population grows by 20 per cent every year. Removing a fraction of that is not going to stop that population actually growing," Mr Trezise said.
