Marksmen in Helicopters Target Horses

Dear Readers,

I've had bad news from PHANTOM STALLION readers in Australia.

If you've seen the amazing movie THE MAN FROM SNOWY RIVER, you've had a peek at Brumbies, the wild horses of Australia.

Hundreds of wild horses have been identified as pests in national parks in north Queensland, Australia and they will be shot by marksmen firing from helicopters.

1300 horses were shot last month by snipers firing from helicopters, but this time it is foaling season.

To read a news story about this plan:
