Hello, I have supplied evidence for this page to change the description from feral to Brumby. The name feral is impartial and is demeaning allowing the exploitation and harm to this animal as well as people. I am new to Wiki I am not a sock puppet ( demeaning and will need to change that description also) . Shenqijing (talk) 00:29, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Please refer back to talk descision. Page reverted back due biased, towards term of feral. Once again as stated the matter that we are discussing is about the use of the word feral to describe human and non human animals. The right intention has been decided on by the judge in this case. And as I will prosume that we are not federal judges of Australia on this platform. The best way to move forward is to follow his discretion of judgment even if we do not understand or comprehend it.

To defend also what Chinese medicine has to do with the subject is that it is a holistic or unified way of understanding change. When it came mes to eco systems and enviromental issues and their integrated supportive nature, the same principles that creat international hearth can also be applied to the external or in this case the enviroment. In this case the traditional study of andigonis health is more inductive than a deductive way of application. I will be changing the wording back. All lives matter.🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼 Shenqijing (talk) 00:49, 23 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

You are presenting no policy or guideline based arguments, and are simply repeating the largely incomprehensible arguments that have been rejected by other editors. It's time to drop the stick and back slowly away from the FERAL horse carcass, so please go and improve another article or something. FDW777 (talk) 09:37, 25 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
I agree, "feral" is not an insult, it's a term with specific scientific meaning. This discussion has gone on too long and there is an overwhelming consensus on the issue. We're done here Montanabw(talk) 20:25, 25 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
Total agree that this discussion should end now, with feral as the term used. The editor has reams of waffling claims without evidence, and seems fixated on changing that term. But feral is the correct scientific word to use here. As to why he wants to include Chinese medicine in the article, I have no idea. --Dmol (talk) 21:22, 25 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Feral to Brumby evidence.

[edit]

ln reference to the last talk. Can you please supply your evidence that feral is the correct Science word for the description of this animal. And in reference to me wishing to add Chinese medicine to the article please direct me to where I have suggested this. Shenqijing (talk) 03:48, 26 June 2020 (UTC)Reply


The page is very biased toward presentation of feral horse deficiencies instead of pointing to Brumby attributes.

According to the IUCNScientific Guidlines and the UKINC 1979 the Word feral does not appear to be the best fit for this animal. Infact it could be seen to be considered Naturalised as it is self sustainable and self sufficient after being introduced. We need a more open descision please.

Please stop wasting everyone's time here. HiLo48 (talk) 05:22, 26 June 2020 (UTC)Reply
@Shenqijing: (With apologies to everyone else who is sick of it already) I'm going to feed your desire to talk about righting a great wrong just once. I've read the document you refer to above, "The impacts of non‐native species on UK biodiversity and the effectiveness of control", and I'll quote to you the sentence from it that defines "feral":

‘Feral’ is an organism (or its descendants) that has been kept in domestication, captivity (animals) or cultivation (plants) but which, following escape or release, now lives in the wild state. However, populations are not necessarily self‐maintaining.

There is absolutely no doubt whatsoever that (1) horses are not native to Australia; (2) Australian horses were originally introduced by humans and "kept in domestication"; (3) brumbies either escaped or were released and now live in the wild state.
Please accept that the very document you adduce as evidence does not support your position that "the Word feral does not appear to be the best fit for this animal". It is certainly true that 'naturalised' would be an alternative according to the document's authors, but a self-sustaining population fits both definitions, and the editors here have reached a consensus to use "feral", which covers both self-sustaining and non-self-sustaining populations.
I have raised my objection to your continued tendentious commentary solely by way of a warning, and as an attempt to dissuade you from further pursuit of the issue. I do not consider myself involved in this article, and I will feel free to apply sanctions to you should you continue on this path. I hope that you draw a line under this and find another topic where you can make a productive contribution. --RexxS (talk) 16:00, 26 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Thankyou for your reply so what about the other definition of Naturalised. RexxS ?. Shenqijing (talk) 16:40, 26 June 2020 (UTC)Reply

Once again thank you for your consideration and please be advised that from my understanding Wiki is a public resource so I like many have the right to open a robust debate. You still have not address the fact that a Australian federal judge has in his wisdom decided that feral may have bias. So what is your experience with key stone and Climax species when it pertains to self sustainable and self limiting process and outcomes to conclude that feral is a better fit that Naturalised. As these definitions are not just about animals,breads but also about race ?.

Colts

[edit]

I just want to pop a note here that the word "colt", meaning a young male horse, is so commonly misused to refer to foals that its use must be handled carefully. It was so common that in works from 50-100 years ago, one sees biologically impossible phrasing like "she was a filly colt." (Arrgh) In etymology, I guess we have to do what we have to do, but the use of the male form of a noun to describe the generic animal is problematic, though I realize that many non-English languages have gendered nouns and so that complicates things further. But for all of the above reasons, I put the word "colt" in quotes in the history/etymology section to make it clear that it was the word's immediate translation, no more and no less. Apparently, we don't have a source for whether the word was intended to be a gendered noun but referring to all young horses of either sex or if it was deliberately intended to apply only to young male horses.
