作为2026年立法审查的一部分,西澳大利亚州提出了保护野生生物的猫遏制法,罚款最高可达5 000美元。 Western Australia proposes cat containment laws to protect wildlife, with fines up to $5,000, as part of a 2026 legislative review.

西澳大利亚州正在推进立法,允许地方理事会在现行《猫法》规定的多年限制之后,执行猫遏制法律,以保护本地野生生物。 Western Australia is advancing legislation that would allow local councils to enforce cat containment laws to protect native wildlife, following years of restrictions under the current Cat Act. 拟议修正案是对猫的拥有权进行更广泛审查的一部分,使理事会能够要求猫留在私人财产上,实行宵禁,或限制进入公共场所,并处以5 000美元的罚款等惩罚。 The proposed amendments, part of a broader review of cat ownership, could enable councils to require cats to stay on private property, impose curfews, or restrict access to public spaces, with penalties like fines up to $5,000. 这项行动回应了对室外猫每年杀死数十亿土著动物的关切,近80%的理事会表示有兴趣采用这种规则。 The move responds to concerns that outdoor cats kill billions of native animals annually, with nearly 80% of councils expressing interest in adopting such rules. 公众协商正在进行之中,该法案可在2026年晚些时候提交议会。 Public consultation is ongoing, and the bill could be introduced to parliament later in 2026.
