Complex issue grap.

I don't support gut shooting a horse and letting it die over 3 days as it's starving foal stands next to it.

But horses do damage fragile ecosystems.

Feral donkeys and camels in the centre of australia would also need attention.

But it should be humane

I don't think there's an example of wild horses actually destroying a fragile environment... the Planet Of The Apes scarecrows called wind generators and the trails they need to even exist is destroying many thousands of hectares of natural environment.

Got me eye on a property - no money though - near the Range up northern NSW there - plan is for a Sanctuary for brumbies and wildlife, and veterans in trouble and good people in trouble... hour or two from your holding...

Wild horses, camels and donkeys have one important thing in common, they drink water and in drought conditions they travel to get a drink, they will drink small water holes dry and the small native animals that live around there, and who can’t travel long distances, die as a consequence.
Wild horses are a feral introduced pest and should not only be culled but exterminated.
The do gooders never gave a damn about the killing of rabbits by mixo and the prolonged suffering before death or the rare recovery from it.

Irrelevant clap trap.

Camels have one advantage over horses & donkeys - they can go without water for much longer.

That's why camels survive where horses & donkeys don't.

Unlike horses & donkeys Camels are soft footed ungulates.

So how often have the Snowies water holes run dry?

"The Snowy River or its associated montane river system has never entirely dried up, but diversions for the Snowy Mountains Hydro-electric Scheme reduced flows significantly. Below Jindabyne Dam, the Snowy River’s flow was reduced to just 1% to 21% of its natural volume, transforming some sections into a chain of stagnant pools."

It seems humans are more of a danger to the natives than horses or even deer and pigs. Now add in the horrendous damage from all those Planet of The Apes scarecrows on the hills and all the access roads and such...

"National Scale Estimates: Opposing groups and think-tanks suggest that to reach 100% renewable generation through onshore wind, tens of millions of hectares could theoretically be impacted across Australia, though much of this overlaps with existing agricultural land rather than untouched forests.Site-Specific Impacts: Individual projects require large footprints. For example, a single turbine pad and its associated heavy-duty access roads typically require around 2 hectares of clearing."

All these references are from AI - me lazy - so take it with a grain of salt.. GIGO. Imagine that if a wind tower is isolated - tht footprint of access road will multiply .... one report said it would clear the size of Victoria... The Beef Wellington State.

What has the hooves got to do with drinking the water holes dry?
And why should one feral animal that does damage be treated differently to another?
While we’re at it, feral deer should also be eradicated and not protected.

When our Civilisation finally collapses, the peasants will need some way to get to town so good for horses, and something to eat... so deer and pigs are not such a bad thing. The damage you speak of is localised and rare and nature repairs itself well..... it's not as if they are trampling the earth into dust or something..

Humans definitely cause far more damage than any wild animal.
