@AnnaVidot Hi Anna, can you follow me so I can DM you.

@RSutherland79 Have you seen the impacts that horses are having in that country? Most reasonable people don't take pleasure in killing things, but feral animals and there impacts need to be managed in National Parks, and with the current pop size lethal control is the only real feasible option

[Mastacomys fuscus @Mfuscus]

Feral horses don’t belong in national parks. Join me and sign this urgent petition calling on Premier Berejiklian to step in and protect our fragile Snowy Mountains. https://t.co/foyxm8Xohg

I appreciate the long term stance @ACT_Parks has taken, and stood by in ensuring the Cotter Catchment and #Namadgi NP remains free of the impacts of #feralhorses @GENTLEMANMick

IUCN writes to NSW Government: "damage to the ecosystem and biodiversity values of the Kosciuszko national park due to the proposed management actions would be detrimental to the reputation and status of Australia and NSW’s record for nature conservation". https://t.co/PiEKGdzrsq

This shows a glimpse of the damage that feral horses cause in Victoria's precious alpine areas. It’s why we’ve announced a three-year action plan to remove more feral horses from this treasured part of the world. https://t.co/yyRFfFlIJx

Essentially the Bill as it reads, would allow decisions made by a single interest group to take priority over the Plan of Management of #Kosciuszko National Park. This is not what public conservation land is about! @GladysB @PennySharpemlc

[Mastacomys fuscus @Mfuscus]

... and the constitution of the Panel allows for only one position of a person with conservation interest. Further to this the WHHMP would override the Plan of Management of Kosciusko National Park and the conservation, biodiversity, and wilderness values that plan entails.

Proposed 'Kosciuszko Wild Horse Heritage Bill' sets out to establish a “Wild Horse Heritage Management Plan” developed by a Wild Horse Community Advisory Panel on which there would be no representation by NPWS staff. 1/2

@rharris334 That's promising, where was he quoted saying that?

[Mastacomys fuscus @Mfuscus]

@neilchair I miss your you tube covers. Hope you're still playing.

[Mastacomys fuscus @Mfuscus]

I'm speechless.....This is devastating for the future of Kosciusko

A big old Eastern Grey Roo exhibiting the classic signs of surviving a #dingo attack. #wildoz

Awesome.....stumbled across this tonight. #jawbreaker back together in 2017 - wasn't expecting that ! https://t.co/puHfYlCr6L

@fudgeh0g @Harryymoore Nice - Mind if I copy your camera storage setup? #fieldworkhacks

[Mastacomys fuscus @Mfuscus]

A 'proper' #dingo from the same population @LizDolphinfluff . Colour variation is common in this part of the country, but isn't definitive

[Mastacomys fuscus @Mfuscus]

@LizDolphinfluff @DingoResearch There would be certainly some degree of hybridisation in the history of these dogs, but that is true for almost every 'dingo' population.

[Mastacomys fuscus @Mfuscus]

@RoGodwinw67 Interesting. Eastern Greys here are the most numerous by far compared to other macropods, few wombats as well - young roo's make easy prey.

[Mastacomys fuscus @Mfuscus]

@gjblue Pretty high. From DNA work in this area, dogs here are best described as 'Dingoes with a small percentage of domestic dog genes'

[Mastacomys fuscus @Mfuscus]

@RoGodwinw67 #Dingoes eat plenty of roo's here, probably their most common prey. Although, here they tried their luck on a big fella - unsuccessful hunt
