Animal activists have slammed the handling of an incident in Laidley where cattle fell out the back of a stock truck.
On Wednesday, May 19, cattle in the rear of a livestock truck leaving the Laidley saleyards fell out and onto the road.
Police were tasked to the scene where eight were euthanised.
But Animal Liberation Queensland, via its Facebook page, claims some cattle were âshot up to five times before they diedâ.
Acting Laidley officer in charge Senior Sergeant Al Dixon said the appropriate steps were taken to ensure the eight cattle were destroyed humanely.
âThe welfare of the animals was the first consideration,â Sergeant Dixon said.
