Investigations are underway after a puppy was spotted locked in a cage strapped to the top of a four-wheel-drive on a Queensland highway. "The car was southbound so no idea how long the dog would have suffered," she wrote. Popovic claimed the car was travelling more than 100km/h into heavy wind during the journey. A spokesman for the RSPCA told HuffPost Australia that inspectors were investigating the matter. Pet owners and others in charge of transporting an animal have a duty under Queensland Animal Care and Protection laws to maintain an animal's welfare before, during and after transport.
