	Defra, UK - Wildlife & countryside - Global wildlife - Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976
		The Dangerous Wild Animals Act of 1976 was originally introduced as a private members bill in response to public concern about the keeping of dangerous pets, especially big cats.
		It aims to ensure that where private individuals keep dangerous wild animals they do so in circumstances which create no risk to the public and safeguard the welfare of the animals.
