Feral horses trapped on high ground in Barmah national park during floods were fed by helicopter hay drops
Horses had been trapped on a small island of high ground in the Barmah national park during the floods and were fed by helicopter hay drops over a two month period - funded first by brumby activists, followed by Parks Victoria.
“This hay was for feral horses not native wildlife and it’s had a significant impact on the cultural heritage site,” she said.Acting for the Yorta Yorta Nation Aboriginal Corporation, lawyers from Environmental Justice Australia called for an investigation by state authorities into any alleged contraventions of Aboriginal heritage or conservation laws.
“We are writing to the minister to seek assurances that the government will actively respect and listen to Traditional Owners as equal partners in the management of the park,” Morgan said.Photograph: Environmental Justice Australia
