I understand people against controlling pest horses populations even less than people against bike lanes. Constantly baffled by my fellow humans.

The Barrington Tops NP has a decent pop'n of feral horses, tracks around the Polblue campsite have huge piles of horse poo (and there's a couple of endangered plant species that need to have cages around them to stop grazing), but hey "part of our history" and all that.

Ah yes, our history. Never mind the First Nations history, let alone millions of years of evolutionary history that makes these special places unique. I like horses, they belong in a paddock.

Even as just a regular citizen I've seen and appreciate the massive damage horses and other hoofed animals have on ecosystems. Australia may look rugged but much of it is very fragile. Keep up the good work in protecting our unique places.
