Big Cat Act

The Most Important Big Cat Bill Ever

Take Action buttonThe Big Cat Public Safety Act is a federal bill that would address two of the biggest sources of abuse of big cats by ending owning big cats as pets and stopping exploitative roadside zoos from offering cub petting and photo ops. Big cats purchased as pets are dangerous and typically end up living in inhumane conditions. Cubs used for petting and photos are ripped from their mothers at birth, physically punished to diminish their natural behaviors, deprived of sleep, then often discarded a few months later when they are two big to pet, with no tracking of what happens to them or how many die.

In the 2019-2020 session of Congress we passed the House with 2/3’ds of the votes because so many of you called your legislators’ offices asking them to cosponsor the bill.  But that vote was on Dec. 3, 2020 and it couldn’t make it to the floor of the Senate in time for a vote, so we had to start over in 2021.  The bill has been re-introduced and members are signing back on, BUT ONLY AFTER THEY HEAR FROM YOU asking them to.

Calls to Congress do work! Please help by taking two minutes to follow the easy, quick instructions below to call the offices of your Representative and your Senators using the simple system and script we have set up for you.

This video shows you how to make the call in detail. (Please note: this video was made before the bill was introduced in the Senate):

If you would like more details on the bill (which you do NOT need to know in order to make the call) download the Big Cat Act Fact Sheet.

To help spread the word, print out the Fact Sheet or print out your own Big Cat Public Safety Act business cards that are easy to carry with you to help inform others about big cat abuse and have them take action:

Leave this with your Congress Member’s staff when you visit in person.  Get Factsheet

To learn about Law Enforcement support for the Big Cat Public Safety Act, including the endorsement by the National Sheriffs’ Association and a compelling 3 minute video by Sheriff Lutz whose officers suffered from having to handle the Zanesville massacre, visit bigcatrescue.org/lawenforcement

To follow the progress of the bill online go to Congress.gov – House bill, Senate bill. The “Cosponsors” tab shows the all of the cosponsors.  If your Representative or Senator is already a cosponsor, it is very helpful to call and thank them to show that constituents care!

To make the call visit BigCatAct.com or just text the word CATS to 52886 for instructions and automatic dialing to your legislators.

Contact Congress and tell them that you support this bill.

    Im new to this game, but I would like to know more. Not just in MY society, but in others too. Please, someone fill me in, teach me and help me to understand deeper. I’m thinking about how when I get older, I might be a Big Kat owner….

      We are working very hard to pass The Big Cat Safety Act which would ban private ownership of big cats and the breeding for the tiger petting trade. We believe strongly that big cats belong in the wild not in cages.

    I hate to see Big cats imprisoned, given poor diet, hunted for body parts,etc. I am an Wildlife animal lover. I don’t like at all That the tigers, Asiatic lions, cheetahs, rhinoceros are being hunted. This should be illegal. People should Respect these Majestic creatures and the should be given Life imprisonment. Help them to these majestic creatures
    Raise a voice and Save them!!

      I have been part of conservation for many years now. Lockdown has diminished me and I’ve felt useless being stuck inside knowing I need to be out working.

    why are people trying to make a simple profit because the money is always from the cubs. i think that we should expose the truth in front of the pubic, that will he save i estimate 50,000 tigers and tiger cubs too, or we could tackle this abuse head on, ripping the cubs away from the roadside zoo, malls and fairs and circuses to retire them to suceeding wildlife reserves then realease them back into the wid

    I find anyone who hurts any animal, exotic or domestic, mentally or physically. These people are going to hell and they need to stop before it’s too late. They don’t seem to realise that these are living creatures with emotions. I am so happy to know that there are people out there who are trying to help, you guys are the best. i would donate money but i’m only 14 and am unemployed. #savetheTigers

    I called all 3 of my contacts in NH, and left the message about the BCPSA. I hope it goes all the way, and stays there. We need to get all of the cats back in the wild where they belong. They are not toys. Thank you for all you do.

    It is so heart breaking the way that any animal is abused. I am a collector of all wild cat pictures, statues, etc., and to see and know that the wild cats are so abused, I want to help to save them. I feel, anyone, anywhere, abuses any animal, should serve jail time, like when a human abuses another human.
