No one may keep any dangerous wild animal listed in The Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976 without first obtaining a licence from us.
A licence will not be issued if the applicant is disqualified from consideration or has a conviction under the Act.
The licence runs for two years and must be renewed before the end of the two-year period if the licence holder intends to continue keeping the animal(s) named on the licence.
