A multi-agency compliance operation was carried out at the Toowong address last week, after Queensland police obtained information that indicated a wildlife carer had allegedly breached the conditions of their wildlife rehabilitation permit. RSPCA Queensland helped transport the animals to the Wildlife Hospital at Wacol for veterinary assessment and treatment."Unfortunately, 25 deceased animals were found in freezers beneath the house and some of those were unable to be identified," he said.
"It is sad. We believe many of those animals will have to be euthanised due to their illness and disease."Mr Christensen said the conditions the animals were kept in were not consistent with regulatory requirements and may have allegedly breached the Animal Care and Protection Act.
