Slaughters horses and cattle, and processes wild-slaughtered animals including kangaroos, for pet food.

Evidence (emails, invoices and animal intake logs) found in the knackery's office identifies at least 4 separate occasions in 2018-20 where NSW horses were sent directly from a stud/breeding facility owned by billionaire Gerry Harvey (who owns the prestigious Magic Millions racing event, and Harvey Norman) to the knackery, in breach of the Racing NSW rules. The evidence also shows 89 horses sent by local breeder Tamac Stud Farm in the same two year period, also in breach of the rules.
