Reverse the restriction placed on Importation of the Bengal Cat to Australia

The issue

Reverse the restriction placed on Importation of the Bengal Cat to Australia

 

Today the federal government has listed the Bengal Cat as a not allowed hybrid breed on the Department of Agriculture and Water Resources website. This means breeders can no longer import these beautiful cats into Australia. They are NOT wild, sold as pets fully desexed by reputable breeders, kept indoors at all times by responsible owners and no threat to wildlife whatsoever.

This doesnt just affect breeders many Australian citizens living abroad can now not bring their beloved pets back to Australia when they return. 

Please sign and share, help us stop the government from banning the importation of this amazing breed.
