Australian Government to Execute Anarchist Horses

YDNEY (AFP) - An Australian state government's plans to shoot more than 10,000 wild horses to protect the environment were Sunday attacked by some animal rights activists as inhumane. ADVERTISEMENT



The Queensland government had attempted to keep the cull of the horses, or brumbies, a secret because of fears of a public outcry.

But government documents confirming the cull were obtained by the media while the Save the Brumbies charity reproduced photographs it said are of the cull on its website.

One of the images shows a foal standing over its dead mother while the second shows a horse left to die with a wound to its rump and gut.
