Controversial 'Brumby Bill' recognising horses' heritage value dumped

The bill which recognised the heritage value of wild horses in horses in Kosciuszko National Park but was widely criticised by conservation groups will be scrapped after a vote to repeal the law passed NSW parliament.

When I was a young lad, I watched a documentary on the Australian pet food industry. A chap was driving around in his refrigerated wagon, shooting camels, brumbies, roos, butchering with a chainsaw sometimes... I thought that's what I want to do... never did manage it.

Hand wringers everywhere, so it seems, the "Animal Justice Party" just about sums it up.

Many snakes are opportunistic feeders and will eat just about any animal that they can capture and overpower, which often ends in cannabalism. Thank you to Vicki Stewart of NSW for sending this amazing encounter in! #WILD #Conservation #Australia #snake #snakevideo #snakeeating #prey #food #nature #native #animal #wildlife | Wild Conservation

Probably one of the downsides to life in Aus is all the venomous critters.. the upside is the diverse landscapes you lucky buggers have...

A downside is distance too. I do prefer the mountains to the dead heart even though it has its plusses too.
