The NSW government has launched a multi-agency investigation into brumby re-homing after the discovery of massed horse carcasses on the property.The investigation is expected to look into restrictions on licensed re-homers and if they can euthanase horses.
A government spokesperson clarified that the investigation was expected to look into the restrictions currently placed on licensed re-homers in relation to whether they could euthanase horses.The NSW Food Authority is investigating if offences have been committed under the Food Act after seizing over 300 kilograms of horse meat from the property, while the DPI is investigating potential offences under the Biosecurity Act.
The RSPCA's website states "home slaughter is not illegal in Australia", but meat from animals killed is not allowed to be sold for commercial gain.
