QLD Parks & Wildlife Suspected of Planning Clandestine Cull

  Our letter in support of Brumby Watch Australia's
Fraser Island Brumby Effort

Story date: March 19, 2002

This is a continuation from Part One

Here is the letter I sent. If you intend to send your own letter, please use your own words but feel free to address the concepts presented here. Please also remember that Parks and Wildlife has not yet done anything wrong so our intent here is to ensure that the proper processes are followed, not bash heads.


Mr Dean Wells
Queensland State Government Environment Minister

Dear Mr. Wells:

I have been advised by various sources that Queensland Parks and Wildlife may be 
preparing for a clandestine brumby cull on Fraser Island.  If these suspicions 
are true, such action may have ominous consequences for Queensland Parks and 
Wildlife. After the debacle at Guy Fawkes River people throughout the world have
focused their attention on brumby management and National Parks and Wildlife in 
particular.

I have first hand knowledge that Brumby Watch Australia is preparing a brumby 
management plan to present for review and consideration.  A preemptive cull of 
the Fraser Island brumbies would be an egregious act of bad faith.

Please investigate this matter and ensure that all appropriate processes take 
place and options are considered before any action is taken against the Fraser 
Island horses.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

/S/ Willis Lamm
