About 1 000 cattle carcass discovered near Dundee

The carcasses, said to number around one thousand, were recently found on a breeder farm in Wasbank. 

NSPCA's Farm Animal Protection Unit Manager, Grace De Lange, says they are trying to establish whether or not foul play was involved in the animals' deaths.

"It is painful for any animal to be poisoned, especially when you consider the pain and suffering. If it was a malicious act we will investigate fully and bring whoever is responsible to account", she said.

"We have been trying to get hold of the owner of the farm to get more information and we hope to do so by Monday", De Lange said.
