A new survey conducted by Born Free has revealed that nearly 4,000 dangerous wild animals are being privately kept in Great Britain, under licence. We are calling on the UK government to immediately review the law and put a stop to some of the world’s most remarkable, but often deadly, creatures being kept as pets in unsuitable captive conditions.
Born Free has broadly welcomed the latest proposals from the European Commission to restrict the import, (re)export and internal trade in elephant ivory in the EU. However, Born Free is urging the Commission to go further.
