Spirit of Tasmania operator found guilty of breaching animal welfare laws after pony deaths

 Spirit of Tasmania ferry operator TT-Line has been found guilty of breaching animal welfare laws after 16 polo ponies died during a voyage in 2018.

The horses were travelling back from a polo event and were found dead inside a converted refrigeration trailer after a Bass Strait crossing between Devonport and Melbourne in January 2018.

Magistrate Leanne Topfer found TT-Line guilty of 29 breaches of the animal welfare act, including that it failed to ensure the horses were individually stalled and to ensure there was adequate ventilation.
