The only way to stop the abuse of big cats in captivity is to ban private ownership. Trying to “regulate” the conditions under which the cats are kept by private owners is simply impossible. There are only about 80-100 inspectors to monitor more than 10,000 facilities. So, while it sounds good to have regulations governing how big cats are kept and treated, the degree to which the regulations can be enforced is severely limited by the cost of manpower needed for enforcement. The simple fact is that trying to regulate conditions under which big cats are kept is totally impossible. Overwhelming evidence shows that despite the regulations there are thousands of animals kept in inhumane conditions such as, chain link enclosures no bigger than a parking space with only concrete under their feet. Banning of private ownership is just the right thing to do.
