Queensland premier calls for urgent inquiry into treatment of retired thoroughbreds. FMTNews

While the slaughter of racehorses is not illegal in Australia, an investigation has found the practice to be far more widespread.

While the slaughter of racehorses is not illegal in Australia, an investigation by national broadcaster ABC last week found the practice was far more widespread than acknowledged. Secretly filmed footage allegedly showed workers at an abattoir north of Brisbane beating and abusing horses, prompting Queensland Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk to announce an “urgent” inquiry into the treatment of retired thoroughbreds.“I want to make sure that we leave no stone unturned and ensure we do everything possible to stamp out animal cruelty.”

“We’re talking about destroying animals on an industrial scale,” University of Sydney professor Paul McGreevy told the broadcaster last week.
