ANIMAL WELFARE — RACEHORSES

1198. Hon ALISON XAMON to the minister representing the Minister for Racing and Gaming:

I refer to the disturbing report regarding racehorses sent to slaughter on ABC’s 7.30 program on 17 October.

(1)  Can the minister advise whether any Western Australian racehorses have been or are being sent to
