naturepunk: Today in the United States, there are more ‘pet’ tigers in private hands than there are in the wild.  According to the Humane Society of the United States, captive populations range between an estimated 10,000 and 20,000 individuals, a stunning 5,000 of which are believed to be living in the state of Texas alone.   This is due mainly to lax exotic ownership laws throughout the country. These laws vary by state, and each state has a radically different stance on the topic.  According to a 2009 report released by Big Cat Rescue, the largest exotic cat advocacy and rescue center in the USA, “just eighteen states ban big cats as pets; ten states have instituted a partial ban; and two have no laws regarding exotic animal ownership whatsoever”.  The rest either require their residents to obtain a permit in order to keep a large-breed cat, or require the owner to have a nothing more than a veterinary certificate.   Due to these lax laws, tigers in private hands are a risk to humans, subject to abuse and illegal trade, and have suffered from improper breeding that may have longstanding affects on the genetic integrity of all captive tigers worldwide.
