A retired racehorse surrendered to an animal shelter after becoming severely malnourished on a Hunter property has died despite best efforts to nurse him back to health.
As the Newcastle Herald reported last week, Jet's condition prompted criticism of the NSW RSPCA by Hunter Horse Haven - which took Jet in - and the Animal Justice Party's lead senate candidate Darren Brollo who claimed the horse was left to deteriorate on a Weston property for a year.
