A professor who ran a cattle teaching station for the Charles Darwin University in the Australia Northern Territory, is responsible for starving 800 cattle horses to death.
Professor Ian Gray was responsible for a "management system which starved animals to death, he then left animals for ants, dogs and crows to finish off", said Ombudsman Carolyn Richards. She says when distressed students and staff made complaints to the director of vocational training at the university's Katherine campus, Dr Brian Heim "dismissed them as trivial and vexatious" and said "what they considered to be cruelty to animals was normal".

"It possibly is one of the worst cases of neglect and cruelty that would certainly not be an understatement," said the RSPCA.
Tell University Starving Animals to Death is NOT "Normal".
