Petition Exempt fishing competitions in animal care and protection legislation

The petition of certain citizens of the State of Victoria draws to the attention of the Legislative Council the community concerns with the Allan Government's failure to commit to exclude fishing competitions from its new animal care and protection legislation which, if implemented, will make it an offence to organise and participate in a fishing competition in Victoria.


The petitioners therefore request that the Legislative Council call on the Government to commit to exempting fishing competitions in the animal care and protection legislation and associated regulations.
