An inquiry into the aerial shooting of wild horses in Kosciuszko National Park has reconvened following the discovery of dead brumbies allegedly found at a property near Wagga Wagga last month.
A NSW Upper House inquiry into the aerial shooting of wild horses in Kosciuszko National Park is probing allegations of the operation of an illegal knackery.
The inquiry into the aerial shooting of wild horses in Kosciuszko National Park has organised an extra hearing following the discovery of hundreds of butchered horses at a property near Wagga Wagga last month.RSPCA chief executive Steven Coleman told the inquiry the organisation's inspectors visited the property on three occasions in late 2023 and early 2024 and said they found remains that "could have equated to maybe 20 horses".
NSW Environment Minister Penny Sharpe said Mr Talbot rehomed 260 brumbies and told the inquiry a NPWS staff member had been investigated and cleared of any wrongdoing in relation to the brumby rehoming program. Mr Thompson, alongside other agencies, counted the skulls of the dead horses to come to the 500-plus carcass figure.
Mr Thompson said he had been back to the property since the original inspection and the horse remains had now either been completely buried or burnt.
