Authorities promise 'humane' brumby cull

The New South Wales National Parks and Wildlife Service says any cull of wild horse numbers in the Kosciuszko National Park will be done humanely.The parks service is planning to remove hundreds of horses it says are damaging the sensitive alpine environment.
However, the Bush Users Group says the horses are part of Kosciuszko's history and warns that its members will put themselves in the way of shooters using helicopters or make sure the brumbies do not get caught in traps.
The parks service says it is planning to remove only enough horses to keep the herds from over-breeding. It has deemed the group's "greenpeace tactics" an overreaction.
