Biden is poised1 to sign bill that bans private ownership of big cats

Transcript2

There are about 7-thousand tigers in private hands or in zoos in the U.S., almost twice as many as are in the wild around the world.

RACHEL MARTIN, HOST:

Good morning, I'm Rachel Martin. If you ever thought about owning a pet tiger or a lion, well, you need a new dream for a lot of reasons, but mainly because President Biden will soon sign a bill passed in Congress that bans private ownership of big cats. There are about 7,000 tigers in private hands or in zoos in the U.S., almost twice as many as are in the wild around the world. The new bill means no more photo ops or cub3 petting sites - wildcats only in sanctuaries4, universities and certified5 zoos. It's MORNING EDITION.
