Knackery in 7.30 story was taken to court for animal cruelty last month

A western Sydney knackery that was shown by the ABC's 7.30 program to be slaughtering racehorses was prosecuted for animal cruelty of cattle and a sheep only last month.Inspectors found dozens of cattle were in such poor condition, they had to be euthanasedThe ABC has contacted the owner of Riverstone knackery for comment

An RSPCA fact sheet, which was tendered to the court, details several inspections between February and July 2018, which found more than 80 emaciated cattle and an injured sheep, many of which were euthanased during those visits. An extensive ABC investigation has revealed the widespread slaughter of racehorses for pet food and human consumption at abattoirs and knackeries in New South Wales and Queensland.

The other cow was euthanased by a police officer who came to the property. That officer also euthanased another cow that had been found in a"very poor state".

No offence ABC but this headline is ANOTHER beatup. That business was/is going bust, and didn't have any horses there... So this is a scream for attention, rather than factual reporting, which is sad.

We often talk abt how our licestocks are treated so badly overseas. Yet in our own backyard the situation is no different. This was very disturbing. No social participation for Melbourne Cup this year.
