The National Parks Service has released its plan to control wild brumby numbers in Kosciuszko National Park. Aerial shooting and ground euthanasia have been abandoned in favour of a trap and removal program. Steve Horsley, Regional Manager, says community opinion was divided on the best way forward. Some critics say the plan ignores the iconic nature of wild horses to Australian culture.
