Brumby reserve mooted as solution to Kosciuszko National Park’s wild horse problem.

Sounds workable.

Personally, I think Australians need to get over the “we can’t eat horses, goats or camels” thing and start humanely capturing, slaughtering, butchering and marketing these (likely quite tasty) feral animals.

Strangely enough, I agree. ;)

I’d certainly give horse meat a try.

I have eaten both feral and farmed goat and feral camel.

Semi. Free range but owned by a herdsman.

They were being used for pet meat for dogs. Until last year when some of the dogs were dying from what the horses et. I haven’t been able to buy raw pet meat since.

“Toxicology reports indicate horse and camel meat from the Northern Territory contained indospicine, a plant toxin that has a traumatic effect on the livers of dogs.”

From: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2021-08-08/pet-food-standards-victorian-dog-deaths/100345844

The meat I used to get was from a local knackery in Western Victoria, but the stuff that caused trouble came from a Gippsland knackery. However, that particular toxin doesn’t affect humans, as far as I recall. I remember it not just because I could no longer get the meat, but also because when it started I made an offhand comment to Mr buffy that “perhaps they were using brumby meat”. Which turned out not to be so far from the reality.

I’m not a traveller so my contact with “exotic” meats has been limited. But for a while about 20 years ago at Brambuk (seems it is closed at the moment) at Halls Gap you could have crocodile and emu (I think it was) sausages or burgers in the cafe. I tried the crocodile, but if I remember rightly I had a cold at the time so I couldn’t really taste anything much. They haven’t done it recently, as far as I know.

I wonder what other disease problems there might be associated with these various feral animals.

Brucellosis is a problem with feral pigs.

I’ve not eaten wild crocodile. I have eaten farmed crocodile. Tasted like chicken. Probably because they feed them chickens.

https://www.health.nsw.gov.au/Infectious/factsheets/Pages/brucellosis-and-pig-hunting.aspx

Wild boars can act as reservoirs for many important infectious diseases in domestic animals, such as classical swine fever, brucellosis and trichinellosis, and in humans, diseases such as hepatitis E, tuberculosis, leptospirosis and trichinellosis. For examples, wild boars are reservoirs for hepatitis E virus, and cluster cases of hepatitis E have been reported in Japan of humans who consumed wild boar meat. In Canada, an outbreak of trichinellosis was linked to the consumption of wild boar meat. The incidence of tuberculosis owing to Mycobacterium bovis has increased in wild boars, thus posing a potential concern for infections in livestock and humans. It has also been documented that six hunters contracted Brucella suis infections from wild swine in Florida. This article discusses the prevalence and risk of infectious agents in wild boars and their potential transmission to livestock and humans.

As are liver flukes and other internal parasites. Careful butchering and thorough cooking reduces the risk.

I have eaten (extremely well cooked) feral pig. Leg meat only. It is very tasty.

I expect it was farmed crocodile meat being used at Brambuk at the time. Possibly farmed emu too, it’s long enough ago to have been in the time of the emu farms (that chewed up money and faded from existence).

Mz Tamb was keen on eating crocodile. She used to say she ate them because they would eat her.
Croc, to me, has a distinctive flavour. Not anything like chook.

“If people want to have a place where they can have their moment with wild horses in the High Country, fine let’s keep on talking. But please don’t talk about this being some last-ditch effort to save a rare heritage breed,” Professor Watson said. 

“The genetic work has been done, they are not a rare heritage breed.

No, they’re a bunch of worthless nags.. an environmental disaster.

I can’t see the Australian Brumby Alliance stomping up the millions necessary for this project or providing all of the labour gratis.

It’s not a Brumbie’s fault that it’s an introduced feral.

No but it is the brumby’s fault for fucking up the alpine areas. They need to be moved or culled. The bleeding hearts can buy them and agist them on someone’s farm.

Well I would be quite happy if they shot all the people responsible too.

An alternative point of view

A way should be found to cull them without suffering. One moment they’re doing what wild horses do; next moment they are stone dead. Dead before they hit the ground.
