Dear John,

This week, the U.S. House of Representatives will vote on the Big Cat Public Safety Act. Your outreach is critical to the bill’s success. Please take a few minutes to urge your representative to protect big cats and vote ‘Yes’ on this important bill.

The Big Cat Public Safety Act will help end the rampant abuse of tigers and other big cats across the country by prohibiting private possession and making it illegal for exhibitors to allow direct contact with cubs, ending dangerous interactions such as cub petting.
 

There are more big cats living in captivity in the United States than there are remaining in the wild. Tigers don’t belong in backyards. Big cats are apex predators who have complex physical and psychological needs and require vast territories to truly flourish. Keeping them in cages is not only cruel, it’s dangerous and puts the entire community at risk.

Thank you for asking your representative to support the Big Cat Public Safety Act. 

For the animals,

Alicia Prygoski
Legislative Affairs Manager
