The RSPCA (the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is investigating a potential case of animal neglect that left 70 cattle dead on a farm in central western New South Wales, Australia.

Current droughts, affecting approximately 78% of the country, make it difficult for farmers to care adequately for their stocks. There have already been several cases of insufficient feeding and watering of animals such as that of a grazier in Young, in southern New South Wales, where 1,000 cattle, sheep and goats were affected.
