Almost 100 dogs and cats have been rescued from appalling conditions at a Queensland puppy farm littered with the corpses of dead animals.
Detectives are interviewing a man after they teamed up with the RSPCA to raid an outback Queensland property where they found 81 dogs and puppies and 10 cats, some malnourished and injured.
The breeds included Pitbulls, American Staffordshire Bull Terriers, and French Bulldogs, a very popular breed that typically sells for thousands of dollars on the pet market.
Authorities went to the property on Bosjnack Road at Glenarbon, in Queensland's southwest, on Monday, armed with a search warrant.
"The conditions the dogs and cats were being kept in were very disturbing," RSPCA Queensland chief inspector Daniel Young said.
"There was inadequate shelter and water and a number of the dogs were carrying injuries that needed urgent veterinary treatment."
One dog was being kept in a small space beside a dead dog and other dog corpses were found near tethered dogs.
No charges have yet been laid over the property, but police and the RSPCA continue to interview a 40-year-old man who's due to face the Goondiwindi Magistrates Court on other matters.
The rescued animals have been transferred to the RSPCA's Queensland headquarters at Wacol.
Anyone who believes they may have purchased an animal from the property has been urged to contact police.
