Dangerous Wild Animals Act
The Dangerous Wild Animals Act of 1976 is a law of the United Kingdom that was originally enacted to deal with the increasing fashion in the late 1960's and early 1970's of people keeping exotic pets which were often from the more dangerous species, as well as hybrids between wild and domestic species, such as wolfdogs and Bengal cats. It was increasingly unacceptable -- in regards to public safety -- for the average citizen to be able to acquire a potentially dangerous animal without some form of regulatory control.
