Covet, catch or cull: managing feral horses in Australia 🐎 | Meet the Ferals Ep 1 | ABC Australia

CORRECTION: In the voiceover at 8:18 the reporter wrongly says “With mares producing at least 2 foals a year…”. Mares on average produce one foal every two years. Thanks to the users who pointed this out in the comments. Source: https://pestsmart.org.au/pest-animal-species/horse/

Original video description: Brumbies, or wild horses, are both loved and loathed as either a heritage horse or feral pest. It makes controlling their numbers more difficult. Subscribe and tap the notification bell! https://youtube.com/abcaustralia?sub_confirmation=1

Meet the Ferals looks at the devastating impact feral animals have on Australia's environment and agriculture and how farmers control introduced pests like cats, goats, pigs, rabbits and wild dogs.

Produced and presented by reporter Prue Adams, this series will focus on a different feral animal each episode. The content has been gathered from the three decades Landline has been on air, with background information and support provided through the Centre for Invasive Species Solutions.
