Just in case you were unsure of whether or not you were living within Orwell's '1984'. All for the sake of a boogeyman 'virus' with a 98+% recovery rate, and an admission by the CDC that COVID-19 has a remarkably low death rate. This is about CONTROL (of you), and nothing else.

Public weren't asked about shooting brumbies from ground, court hearsParks Victoria failed to properly consult with the public about its plans to cull brumbies using ground shooting, the Supreme Court has heard. If their numbers are excessive they need to be culled along with deer. They’re an introduced pest. Cats, dogs,pigs,camels,horses,ferrets and a list of birds are all feral. Why should an agency who looks after Australian wildlife and the environment as a whole have to consult with the public? Are the public at large experts on brumby management? No. Are the 'OMG killing horses!' crowd in a position to own any horses? No. Wild horses should be delt with like cane toads - exterminate on site.
