#Cull of 20,000 #NativeBirds at #NewcastleWaters #CattleStation will not go ahead after parent company intervened.
In a social media post, the parent company of #ConsolidatedPastoralCompany, which operates the station, said it was unaware of the licence and instructed staff to cease any culling plans "immediately".
The parent company, #TerraFirma, says it will meet with "relevant environmental groups" when leaders visit #Australia later this year.
"As the owner of #CPC, we were not aware of the application for a licence to cull birds at Newcastle Waters," the company said in its post.
"We have made clear to CPC leadership that this is #CompletelyUnacceptable.
"We have instructed the Newcastle Waters leadership team, and CPC senior management to cease any plans for culling immediately.

@gusseting #GuyHands said #CPC is a high-quality, well-run business with a strong position in a large and growing industry and proximity to major beef-consuming markets. Even in Australia, where beef industry standards are among the highest in the world, CPC stands apart for its commitment to #AnimalWelfare, #EnvironmentalResponsibility, and #innovation for productivity”
Putting a face and name to CPC / Hands Family Office’s handiwork. A lot of BS in the statement above. <https://www.pastoral.com/about-cpc/>
