Photos provided to the ABC by the head of an animal rescue organisation show dead horses and others that appear to be in a severely underfed state on a property west of Toowoomba.
"They shouldn't have been put in that position. He should have been feeding them months ago like everyone else has been feeding their stock."
"It has been very poor management. The owner is away and he was supposed to have a bloke here looking after them, well he hasn't been doing it.""A lady from up at Cairns has got involved and spent $1,000 of her home money to feed the horses and she has a local lady feeding them for her," he said.Ms Pagani said the RCPCA was not able to intervene in the case due to a jurisdictional issue.
"We've kept surveillance on this property and there's no evidence of adequate feeding at all," Ms Pagani said."These are starving horses, they are dying. They need special care … they need slow introduction [of food and supplements] after a couple of weeks of good quality hay three times a day," she said.
