Queensland residents draws to the attention of the House that cat traps are inhume and can cause serious injuries to captured animals.  On 28 April 2011, a Council cat trap severed the tail of a cat at Tanah Merah, requiring surgery by a Vet.

 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to introduce legislation banning the use of cat traps in urban environments.
