It is unbelievable that the Queensland government has banned the keeping of rabbits as pets in Queensland. In all other states of Australia, their keeping is legal.

What is the governments' argument against keeping pet rabbits?

Well, Queensland authorities seem to have adopted a hysterical view that if the keeping of pet rabbits is legalised, the State will be over-run by colonies of rabbits establishing themselves in the wild and becoming a threat to the environment.

This is impossible if the rabbit is de-sexed, which should be compulsory, unless it is being kept for breeding purporses. Also, an escaped rabbit would barely last a day in the wild. Being raised in captivity, it wouldn't know how to fend for itself.

I know from personal experience that domestic rabbits make fabulous pets. They make little noise, they do not kill native animals and birds, and they are by no means dangerous. I believe that the keeping of domestic rabbits in the state of Queensland, Australia should be made legal under the conditions that the rabbit is de-sexed so as to prevent unwanted breeding, and breeding should only be legal with a government-obtained permit.

Rabbits make truly wonderful companions, and it is a shame that Queensland citizens cannot enjoy them as pets. Please sign this petition, and legalise the keeping of rabbits in Queensland! Thankyou.
