SYDNEY - Australia's thoroughbred industry was reeling Friday after an investigation revealed the mass, and sometimes inhumane, killing of thousands of retired horses, with their meat destined for human and pet consumption.
"It's an abattoir that kills horses for human consumption," the group's Elio Celotto told ABC, which broadcast secretly filmed footage it claimed showed workers beating and abusing horses. It revealed around 300 racehorses, with combined prize money of almost A$5 million , went through the abattoir in just 22 days.
Currently, when thoroughbred horses retire their owners must inform Racing Australia of their plans for the animal.
