WH&B : Mae Lee Sun & Craig Downer on the culling of Australia's brumbies

Hosted by Debbie Coffey, V.P. Wild horse Freedom Federation

There have been many horrific aerial cullings of brumbies (wild horses) in Australia, where shooters in helicopters have shot and left many brumbies suffering before death.  The New South Wales government plans to wipe out 90% of the Snowy Mountains brumby population over the next two decades.
