International wildlife charity Born Free revealed that across the UK, over 2,700 dangerous wild animals were kept as pets, including lions, tigers, and crocodilians, permitted under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976.
Many members of the public will rightly be shocked to learn of so many animals being kept by private keepers. Trade in all kinds of wild animals as exotic pets puts owners and the wider public at risk of injury or disease.
