Park rangers in NSW, Australia face harassment and threats.

Park rangers in New South Wales, Australia are experiencing harassment and threats as they cull brumbies (feral horses) in Kosciuszko National Park. This follows the New South Wales government's announcement that it would resume aerial shooting to control the burgeoning brumby population. The Public Service Association of NSW, which includes park rangers, is concerned about the increasing harassment and threats towards workers conducting the culls. Environmentalists argue that the feral horses negatively impact native animal habitats, waterways, and landscapes, while horse advocates claim that the heritage value of brumbies in Australian culture is being ignored.
