The Province is proposing regulation changes that would ban the breeding, sale and future ownership of all non-native and non-domestic cat species.
While lions, tigers, jaguars, leopards and cheetahs are already regulated in B.C., other exotic cat species are not, allowing them to be kept as pets. Animal-welfare organizations and wildlife experts with long-standing concerns have called for regulatory measures to address the public-safety and environmental risks posed by exotic cats.
We’re proud of our member, the BC SPCA, for their leadership on this issue. Please support their call for stronger protections here.
