Southern Tasmanian Man Found Guilty of Animal Cruelty Following Neglect of Horses
RSPCA Tasmania welcomes the outcome of a recent animal cruelty prosecution involving a Southern Tasmanian man whose neglect resulted in the suffering and eventual euthanasia of two horses.
On 29 May 2025, RSPCA Tasmania received a complaint regarding two horses with severely overgrown and split hooves. Inspectors attended the property and observed that both horses were experiencing significant hoof-related issues.
A subsequent veterinary examination confirmed that the horses were suffering from laminitis, a painful and debilitating condition affecting the hooves. One horse was also found to have a rotated pedal bone, indicating severe and prolonged suffering.
Due to the extent of their conditions and their poor prognosis, both horses were humanely euthanised on veterinary advice to prevent further pain and suffering.
Following an investigation, the owner, Maurice Vialle, was charged with two counts of managing an animal in a manner reasonably likely to result in unreasonable and unjustifiable pain or suffering, and one count of animal cruelty under Tasmania's animal welfare legislation.
Mr Vialle appeared before the Hobart Magistrates Court on 25 May 2026, where he pleaded guilty to all charges.
The Court imposed a fine of $5,000 plus court costs and disqualified Mr Vialle from having custody of any horse for a period of five years.
RSPCA Tasmania Chief Inspector, Jayden STIRRUP said the case highlights the importance of owners providing appropriate and timely care for their animals.
"Laminitis is an extremely painful condition that requires prompt veterinary attention. Horse owners have a responsibility to ensure their animals receive appropriate hoof care and veterinary treatment when needed. Sadly, in this case, the suffering experienced by these horses was so severe that euthanasia was the only humane option."
RSPCA Tasmania encourages members of the public to report any concerns about animal welfare.
Anyone who is aware of, or witnesses, animal cruelty or neglect is urged to contact RSPCA Tasmania on 1300 139 947 or visit rspcatas.org.au.
