( To my understanding ) The article was based on the fact that there has been complaints about the horses being injured and not killed and then roaming around. Clean shot to heart or head cannot always been quaranteed in an aerial cull although yes, it's actually possible to get closer to wild horses by helicopter than by a motorvehicle. I don't support this method and I also think that a bit more could be done to prevent feral horse communities getting bigger. A lot of big properties have surplus they let loose once used. Amongst them there is mares who get in touch with the stallions already running wild and they multiply. And in some, although maybe in rare occasions, our "brumbies" arrive staright of the track of the northwest. And station surplus let loose. Dumped in the desert.
Sorry if I upset someone again. Not hunting for an argument here.
