A local council has stumbled upon a horrifying horse slaughter house on a remote property, with more than 500 carcasses found at the scene.
Wagga Wagga City Council confirmed on Wednesday it had discovered the carcasses and said it believed the slaughter operation had been going on for a “long period of time”.
“The information led to council entering the property supported by members of NSW Police, the NSW food authority, local land services, the department of primary industries and racing NSW,” the council said. NCA NewsWire understands the property is owned by a Wagga Wagga local, but the part of the property on which the carcasses were found had been leased out.Nationals Member Wes Fang called the discovery “incredibly concerning” and said he had been told some of the horses might be rehomed brumbies.
“Staff from the Wagga Wagga City Council, NSW Police and the NSW EPA inspected the property on Monday, and we are hearing a number of horses may be rehomed brumbies.
