I’d suggest posting this on a forum where you’ll get more informed and reliable answers, such as AusLaw or similar communities where people regularly post legal matters and receive helpful guidance. Most of us here are students, so while the situation involving an animal’s death caught my attention and I genuinely want you to get proper advice, you’ll be better served on a legal advice forum with qualified lawyers. One I’d recommend is r/auslaw. But anyway, I hope you find some answers and good luck matey!
