'None of your business'

Despite the deaths, Mr Oberle has official sanction to keep another eight malnourished horses that survived the ordeal, in the same barren paddock where dozens of corpses were left for weeks to rot.

The Queensland Department of Agriculture and Fisheries (DAF) has not seized the surviving animals from Mr Oberle, despite neighbours and animal welfare advocates claiming the animals are still at risk without lifesaving care.

The one-time racehorse trainer has repeatedly refused to sell the horses to animal rescue groups, telling the ABC that what he did with the survivors was "none of your business".

The deaths prompted Ms Walker to take the extraordinary step of making a formal statement to DAF, detailing her father's "appalling" past failures and "massivestock losses".

Ms Walker said as a child she recalled her father would blame stock losses on drought.

But her views changed after a dairy farm venture in the late 1990s with her father, marred by what she said were deaths from his neglect and unwillingness to buy feed.

"I never saw anything lay there and struggle to its last breath, but I've certainly seen plenty of animals shot when they were too far gone to recover," Ms Walker said.

"He should not own another animal and if he has any animals now, I'd like to see them taken out of his care."

Sandy Walker says she thinks her father should be banned from owning animals. ( ABC
