Chicken Deaths in Truck Accident Angers RSPCA

According to ABC, Aimee McKay, from the RSPCA, says there have been five similar incidents in the past eight months.

Ms McKay says transport companies should minimise travelling distances wherever possible, and there's also room for more driver testing.

"Very embryonic that suggestion, but I think that it's certainly that's worth looking into, given they have got a huge responsibility on their truck," she says.

"They are transporting live animals most of the time, thousands of live animals."
