terryd 8,556 Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 Different world out there. Every one loves horses but in that situation it’s different. I watch that fella trapping dogs and he catches some fine animals. But his very humane and it’s got to be done. Must be an interesting place to live 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

They would be a right bit of crack wouldn’t it, what a great gig for someone. Just cutting about the outback with a rifle, leathering horses…..proper job Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ands 550 Posted December 9, 2023 Report Share Posted December 9, 2023 They rounded them up here and took the ponies to be culled elsewhere- much kinder to have culled them on the spot id say. 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Before I moved I used to keep horses, 10 years of paying for those c**ts and all the assorted shite the wife and daughters wanted to go with it and I’d happily shoot every f***ing horse in the world !
