Is there a person living in the EU allowed to have a monkey as a pet? What about a tiger?

Question

I mean to have it in his yard, not at the Zoo or specialized shelter or something.

Answer 1

ok 1 what do u want with a monkey or a tiger!!! ok the monkey in my books acceptable the tiger must be a new born then you train it!!!! but thats just my opinion!

Answer 2

Uh, no.

Just no.

You're barely allowed to legally hand raise tiger cubs at home, let alone have a full grown one in your garden!

But yes, some people in the EU have monkeys- but that is VERY unadvisable and shouldn't be practised, really.

Answer 3

I would hope not. Poor critters :(

Answer 4

No, of course not. it doesnt matter where you live noone is allowed to keep animals (especially endangered ones) in their back yard.

Tigers are native to Asia, and depending on where you live it would be extremely difficult, if not impossible to simulate their natural environment, and they will die.

Where would you get one from anyway? there arent that many left in the wild and most are being raised properly..not in peoples backyards!

Also, last thought.. Both of these animals live in groups and may become depressed and angry if alone. How would you get around that? Get 10. Why not!!

Answer 5

There are cat rescues all over the united states because people think its cool to have a tiger and then abandon them when they get big. people get them to guard their drug houses too. Its not cool at all. These animals belong in the wild. I would report them asap.
