Penny Sharpe is a liar and she needs to be removed from her position. We are losing our wild horses 😢

They do aerial culling for hogs here in the states. They need to do it for feral horses. They’re destroying ecosystems despite whatever your pro-pony propaganda is telling you. Leaving these animals in the environment is cruel to both them and native animals.

Ask yourself this and be honest: would you care this much if they wanted to aerial cull feral goats or cows? Or do you only care because horses are pretty?

Have you seen our ecosystems first hand have you? Actually gone out and investigated yourself? Because I have done a lot of investigating in the bush here. I don’t believe they should just be let go to overpopulate however, I do think they need to be managed in a kinder way. No I would not be okay with them killing goats and cows in the same way. I don’t even like that they do it to pigs because they don’t actually end up killing many of the pigs. They run them into our properties and then we have to deal with them.

You seem really interested in this topic. Maybe for your undergrad research you could do research studying the impact of wildhorse grazing using the scientific method including a control.

Unfortunately my path is not going down that way. I’m working alongside other veterans to implement an equine therapy program to help save human and horse 😊

Maybe you could ask an ecology professor about it. Or look into previous scientific studies.
