Big Cat Safety Act Vote. The big cat public safety act would bar private ownership of tigers, lions, leopards and other big cats and limit public contact with those animals. 1380, the big cat public safety act, took one big step closer to becoming law.
To amend the lacey act amendments of 1981 to clarify provisions enacted by the captive wildlife safety act, to further the conservation of certain wildlife species, and for other purposes. Wild animals imprisoned in basements or backyards not only suffer immensely, but also pose a serious risk to the safety of the surrounding community. Now it’s time for the u.s.
The big cat public safety act would allow existing facilities to keep their big cats but prohibit most contact between the public and the animals.
And why we need the big cat public safety act to. The bill seeks to federally ban private ownership of and public contact with big cats—essentially ending the u.s. Senate and presidential approval to become law. — natasha daly (@natashaldaly) december 3, 2020
