Tell US representatives to protect big cats

Tell U.S. representatives to protect big cats

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

We have an opportunity to let members of the House know that their constituents support captive big cat protections and to ask that they advance the Big Cat Public Safety Act (H.R. 263).

Passing this important legislation will help to end the mistreatment of captive big cats nationwide and greatly reduce unnecessary risks to the public. Tell your representative that you care about big cats and support H.R. 263.

Please protect big cats and public safety by advancing the Big Cat Public Safety Act

I am writing to respectfully encourage you to support the bipartisan Big Cat Public Safety Act (H.R. 263) to protect both wildlife and communities.

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 wildcat collections, inhumane cub handling exhibits, and “pet” tiger 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, which has been endorsed by emergency responders and safety officials across the country, will help put a stop to these tragedies.

As a proponent of big cat protection and conservation, I urge you to support the Big Cat Public Safety Act to safeguard animals and communities across the U.S.
