Saving the majestic wild horses from being culled | 60 Minutes Australia

This 2010 story features the fight to protect brumbies in national parks from being culled. But just in October 2023, the NSW Government allowed aerial shooting to reduce the number of wild horses, saying it is essential to protecting the threatened native wildlife and ecosystems.

*Synopsis | The Last Muster (2010)*
You may know the scene - the man from Snowy River chasing a herd of wild horses through the high country. Now, replay the action without the brumbies. It's just un-Australian, isn't it? Those magnificent creatures are under threat. There are simply too many of them. And if we can't come up with a better way to control their numbers, they'll be culled. Karl Stefanovic slipped into the saddle to join the last great muster - the plan to round up the brumbies, and hopefully, win them a reprieve.
