Queensland Citizens draws to the attention of the House that recently the parliament refused to classify all cats the same as rabbits in that they are a huge danger to our environment. There are currently 77 local government areas meaning there are 77 different rules and laws regarding cats and cat ownership.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to adjust state laws so that there is one law to govern cat ownership in the state, and the law include:
- no cat can be bought, sold, traded or given unless they are registered and de-sexed.
- ownership be limited to one per household.
- all cats to be kept inside at all times or in an enclosed cattery.
- no cat breeding to be allowed.
