To the Honorable the Speaker and Members of the Legislative Assembly of New South Wales in Parliament Assembled.

This Petition of Australian and International Supporters of the "Make the Vaccine for Myxomatosis Legal" campaign call on you to help us end the suffering for our beloved pet rabbits and their Families hearts by making the Vaccine legal and available.

We draw to your attention that the current laws prevent Australians from having access to the much needed Vaccine to save our pets from this preventable and deliberate disease. The Vaccine is currently illegal in Australia due to fears the immunity the Vaccine provides "might" be transmitted into the feral rabbit population. However, there is no hard evidence of this.

The suffering, pain and heartache caused to pets and their Families by Myxomatosis can be simply avoided by allowing domestic rabbit owners access to the Vaccine.

*PREVENTION IS THE ONLY CURE*

We urge the Government to review and change current regulations that prevent Australians from accessing this much needed Vaccine to protect our beloved pet rabbits from the deadly Myxomatosis virus.

We therefore respectfully ask the House to make the Vaccine to immunize domestic rabbits from Myxomatosis legal and available to pet Owners through licensed Veterinary Practices in Australia.
We urge the Government to review and change the current regulations that prevent Australians from accessing this much needed Vaccine to protect our beloved pet rabbits from the deadly Myxomatosis virus.

With the Governments help in changing the law, together we can make a difference and make this Country a kinder and more compassionate place.
