Thank you to everyone who has taken the time to write to the committee that is looking into the QLD animal cruelty law review that failed to even consider glue traps.
We have just 24hours to make our voices heard. Please contact the committee here -

Or write it in your own words using these prompts:*
*You want glue traps banned as they are inhumane and indiscriminate
*They are currently easily available and people don’t use them properly or check them often, leaving animals to die a long painful death
* Any experience you have had with rescuing wildlife from glue traps
Or you can email SDRIC@parliament.qld.gov.au asking for your opinion to be recorded.
We have very little time as submissions need to be in by Midday Wednesday 1st June. If you can let us know you have made a submission we can keep track of numbers. Either reply “done” on this post or email catcoake@gmail.com or contact Cat or Ed by messenger.
Queensland government has undertaken a review of their current cruelty legislation. Not much has changed in the past 20 years and this process is fairly limited in our opinion.
What is really needed is a Royal Commission into the treatment of animals and how we care for our wildlife. But meanwhile we want to bring their attention to the lack of review of impacts on wildlife, particularly the lack of mentioning glue traps.
The new legislation is being reviewed as we type.
They only received just under 1500 submissions for the entire cruelty laws review so we need them to take the objection to glue traps seriously. Other countries have banned them, we need to as well.
Hopefully we can create a domino effect and get other states to follow, and have the issue “front of mind” when we get an Independent Office of Animal Protection.
