Tasmanian ferry operator cancels horse transport
Ferry operator Spirit of Tasmania has confirmed it will no longer transport livestock, including horses, across Bass Strait for the foreseeable future, AAP reports.
The decision comes after a court found TT-Line, which has operated the service for 37 years, guilty of breaching animal welfare laws over the deaths of 16 polo ponies on a summer Bass Strait voyage.
