Congress Passes the Big Cat Public Safety Act

We are pleased to report that, after years of hard work and determination, AWI and allies have succeeded in securing House and Senate passage of the Big Cat Public Safety Act (BCPSA)! As we go to press, the measure awaits President Biden’s signature to become law. The BCPSA will end the cruel and dangerous pet trade in tigers, lions, and other big cats, as well as the exploitative cub petting/photo operations that fuel a relentless cycle of breeding, dumping (as cubs age out), neglect, and abuse.
