Congress passing the Big Cat Public Safety Act has international implications

Congress has just passed the Big Cat Public Safety Act, which will prohibit Americans from keeping tigers, lions and other big cat species as pets. It also bans public contact with the species, including cub petting. It will also give the United States more clout in international efforts to curb breeding and trafficking in other countries.
