Title: Implementing the Big Cat Public Safety Act | |
Abstract:
FWS amended the implementing regulations for the Captive Wildlife Safety Act by incorporating the requirements of the Big Cat Public Safety Act (BCPSA), which was signed into law on December 20, 2022. To further the conservation of certain wildlife species (lions, tigers, leopards, snow leopards, clouded leopards, jaguars, cheetahs, and cougars, or any hybrids thereof), the BCPSA made certain activities with these species unlawful. The BCPSA also required certain entities or individuals to register each such animal with the Service not later than June 18, 2023, to continue to possess these animals. FWS conducted a robust outreach effort for the BCPSA interim rule to ensure public awareness of the new regulation. In addition to a news release and social media posts, FWS communicated directly with over 20 organizations including multiple media outlets, Congressional contacts, other Federal agencies, sanctuaries, zoo organizations, pet industry stakeholders, and other relevant non-governmental organizations. |
