Captive Wildlife Safety Act
The Captive Wildlife Safety Act addresses concerns about public safety amid growing
private ownership of big cats in the United States. The law, which becomes effective September 17, 2007,
makes it illegal to move certain types of live big cats across State lines or U.S. borders unless you
qualify as exempt. Big cats covered by the Act include lions, tigers, leopards, snow leopards, clouded
leopards, jaguars, cheetahs, and cougars; all subspecies of these species; and hybrid combinations of
these species.
