Former federal environment minister Peter Garrett is calling on governments to drastically reduce feral horses in the Kosciuszko National Park, after a population boom there due to abundant grass following a severe drought.
“It s really important to get as many horses as we can off these grounds in a humane way, he said.
“There’s been a gaping abrogation of responsibility that s allowed the debate to become a false choice between tens of thousands of feral horses and the health of the park.
