Support the Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act (House)

Big cat possession and breeding is at epidemic proportions in the U.S. It is estimated that there could be up to 20,000 big cats in private ownership. The animals are often kept in squalid conditions and dangerously close to residential areas.

IFAW is working with Reps. Howard ‘Buck’ McKeon (R-CA) and Loretta Sanchez (D-CA) and Senator John Kerry (D-MA) to pass the Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act (H.R. 4122/S.3547).

Please urge your U.S. Representative to cosponsor the Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act today.

As your constituent and a member advocate of the International Fund for Animal Welfare (IFAW), I am writing today to urge your cosponsorship of HR 4122/S3547, the Big Cats and Public Safety Protection Act.

Big cats kept as pets and traded for profit are ticking time-bombs, and H.R.4122/S.3547 would finally put an end to the thousands of big cats bred and kept as pets throughout the U.S. It is estimated that there could be up to 20,000 big cats in private ownership in the U.S., but  no one knows exactly how many of these dangerous animals are being kept in private hands, under what conditions, and where.

If you haven't already, please also consider co-sponsoring this important bill.
