your question is moot. Ask yourself why is the govt going all in to kill the brumbies and Not give the same weight to to the feral pests that do far more damage, breed far quicker and have no hope of being useful for work, sport or pleasure? ofcourse, its emotional, horses have great memories, form real bonds with their carers, have empathy, this IS the reason its emotional. Govt. will broadly use 1080 poison. Govt will wreck many acres of KNP for Snowy 2.0. Govt will stock KNP rivers and streams w introduced species of fish. Brumbies are apart of our national heritage. Immortalised in song and all of the arts. Respectfully, what has a pig or goat or rabbit done in service on the battlefields to make you so comfortable to even think to put them in the same league?
