Singleton Army Base brumby cull an 'open-slather slaughter', horse advocacy group says

A cull of more than 100 brumbies on a New South Wales army base has been described as a "disturbing, open-slather slaughter" by a local councillor, who has accused the Department of Defence of dishonesty and a lack of empathy.

The Singleton Council passed a motion demanding transparency over the cull at the Singleton Army Base in the Upper Hunter in late December last year.

The motion is seeking to raise concerns with the Minister for Defence Christopher Pyne "regarding the lack of transparency, public communication and consultation regarding the recent cull", and to find out if any brumbies remained on the base.
