Don't you find it funny that In NSW you can keep the worlds most venomous land snakes but you cant keep a simple Sugar Glider.
NSW does however let you keep 2 native mammals. (Notomys alexis Spinifex Hopping-Mouse)(Pseudomys australis Plains Rat)These two species are considered advanced species and are on advanced licenses (Class 2) in other states which allow you to keep native animals.
So If NSW allows you to keep 2 of the hardest mammals to keep and breed then why aren't they letting you keep relatively easy species such as (Fat-tailed Dunnart Sminthopsis crassicaudata) and (Mitchell's Hopping-mouse Notomys mitchelli) All in all Native Australian Mammals are relatively easy to keep. To the enthusiastic keeper that wants to meet the animals needs most species of mammals are easily maintainable.
When signing this petition you are agreeing that people in NSW should be able to obtain a license from the DECC that allows you to Keep the following Mammals on a basic lisence:Common Brushtail Possum Trichosurus vulpecula
Common Ringtail Possum Pseudocheirus peregrinus
Common Wombat Vombatus ursinus
Fat-tailed Dunnart Sminthopsis crassicaudata
Kowari Dasyuroides byrnei
Mitchell's Hopping-mouse Notomys mitchelli
Red-legged Pademelon Thylogale stigmatica
Red-necked Pademelon Thylogale thetis
Red-necked Wallaby Macropus rufogriseus
Rufous Bettong Aepyprymnus rufescens
Sugar Glider Petaurus breviceps
Swamp Wallaby Wallabia bicolor
Tammar Wallaby Macropus eugenii
Tasmanian Bettong Bettongia gaimardi
Tasmanian Pademelon Thylogale billardierii
As well as these species on an Advanced license:
Brush-tailed Bettong Bettongia pencillata
Common Wallaroo (Euro) Macropus robustus
Eastern Grey Kangaroo Macropus giganteus
Kangaroo Island Kangaroo Macropus fuliginosus fuliginosus
Red Kangaroo Macropus rufus
Western Grey Kangaroo Macropus fuliginosus
These animals can Be kept in Vic, SA and the NT. In signing this petition you are ensuring that these native mammals will be able to be breed so if wild populations ever dwindle they will be able to be replaced.
makes zero sense that i can have a death adder but not a simple sugar glider. fix these outdated laws nsw

my kids would love to learn about these animals up close. keeping them in our own homes is a great way to respect nature and learn responsibility. let us have the license already!
