Cow Shot at Boyanup Saleyards
In a Members Statement to Parliament, Amanda raised serious concerns about footage showing a cow being shot five times at the Boyanup saleyards in WA’s South West.
The incident has renewed attention on long-standing welfare issues at the facility, including poor conditions, lack of shade, and repeated delays to vital upgrades. Despite a recent investigation, no prosecution was pursued.
Amanda highlighted the broader failure of WA’s outdated Animal Welfare Act and urged the Government to deliver the reforms it committed to in 2021.
She called for urgent action to ensure saleyards in Western Australia meet basic standards and are held accountable when they don’t.
