| Message | Our Wild Animal Act proved to be extremely successful. Dozens of scientists with specialities and knowledge of certain animals have taken wildlife into their personal ownership. This has led to a dramatic increase in our knowledge of wild animals and our knowledge of those areas of science. It has strengthened our scientific community and made us worldwide competitors of knowledge. After this experiment, we have taken the decision to extend it to the ownership of exotic animals, using the same legislation as before. |
