Tell US representatives to protect big cats

Tell Congress to protect big cats

Reflecting broad public support for safeguarding tigers, lions, leopards, and other big cats, Congress is considering legislation that would bring an end to the private ownership of dangerous wild cats in the U.S.

We now have an opportunity to let members of the U.S. House and Senate know that their constituents support captive big cat protections and to ask that they support the Big Cat Public Safety Act (H.R. 1380/S. 2561).

By advancing H.R. 1380/S. 2561, Congress can help end the mistreatment of captive big cats and greatly reduce unnecessary risks to the public. Tell your members of Congress that you care about big cats and support H.R. 1380/S. 2561.

Please protect big cats and public safety by supporting H.R. 1380/S. 2561

I am writing to respectfully encourage you to support H.R. 1380/S. 2561 to protect both big cats and the public.

Big cats face countless threats both in the wild and in captivity. Captive, privately-owned big cats are regularly subjected to mistreatment and miserable living conditions, while those who exploit them misrepresent these activities as “conservation.” Despite these claims, backyard captive big cat collections, inhumane cub handling exhibits, and “pet” big cat breeding do nothing to benefit these animals’ wild counterparts, and could in fact do just the opposite.

Private ownership of tigers, lions, and other exotic cats is also a serious public safety issue. There have been hundreds of dangerous incidents involving captive big cats in the U.S., including maulings, escapes, and even deaths. The Big Cat Public Safety Act (H.R. 1380/S. 2561) will help to ensure that these tragedies do not continue.

As a proponent of big cat protection and conservation, I urge you to support H.R. 1380/S. 2561 to safeguard animals and communities across the U.S.
