The Petition of residents of the State of Queensland draws to the attention of the House the serious concerns raised recently in the media regarding the protection and care of our companion pet animals.
Your petitioners recognise that changes have recently been made to better liaise with the RSPCA, DPI and Police Officers. However, since COVID there has been an increase in pet ownership, breeding practices and husbandry. Not all animals manage to enjoy the intended companionship but instead suffer mistreatment and abuse at the hands of their handlers.
Your petitioners, therefore, request the House to protect our pet companion animals so important to families in our community.
