What the petition asks
Following recent media coverage around UK citizens buying / keeping / owning exotic animals that are not native to the UK (Tiger King Netflix and ITV’s Britain’s Tiger King presented by Ross Kemp) is not acceptable and inhuman.
It is unacceptable for an individual to mimic a natural habitat for these animals in the UK. The licence to own / keep these type of animals is not acceptable and a change in the legislation is required.
Why it was rejected
It was created under a fake or incomplete name.
