Dangerous Wild Animals

Animals classified 'dangerous wild animals' are identified in the Dangerous Wild Animals Act, which is available to view in full on the Office of Public Sector Information website.

How to apply

The current application fee (April 2011 to March 2012) is £162.00, plus the cost of additional veterinary fees incurred. To make an application under the Act please complete the form and return to the Licensing Section.

Our duty

In addition to powers of inspection, the Act also gives us powers to seize any animal being kept on unlicensed premises. Zoos, pet shops and circuses are exempt from the provisions of the Act as these premises are subject to separate licensing requirements.
