The petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the cruelty to many domestic and native animals, eg. the unnecessary flogging of horses; koala's being shot by gun pellets; and dogs having their eyes glued together.

 

Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to have much stricter laws governing the sentencing of culprits, found guilty of cruelty to animals.  Stronger sentencing is required.
