Tasmanian police expect to charge people involved in video of sheep being shorn with chainsaw
Tasmanian police have launched an investigation into a video appearing to show a sheep being shorn with a chainsaw on a property last week.
The video, which was posted to Facebook, depicts one man holding down the distressed animal while the other appears to shear it.
Previously, police said under animal welfare laws, the Department of Primary Industries, Parks, Water and Environment (DPIPWE) were responsible for undertaking action against the individuals involved.
RSPCA Tasmania launched its own investigation last week and said it had since been working with Tasmania Police to look into the matter.
