Make importing, keeping, sale of Cat 1 wild animals by private citizens illegal
The recent case of a man who purchased and imported two African lion cubs to live in his back yard, shows that the laws in this area are dangerously lax. These big cats can weigh up to 190kg as adults and are among the world's most dangerous predators.
Category 1 animals are defined in the Secretary of State's Standards of Modern Zoo Practice as:
"Those kinds of animals which, by their natural ferocity and their natural ability to cause harm, depending on the circumstances of possible encounter, are likely to present hazards when not separated from members of the public visitingzoological gardens."
