Egyptian law prohibits wild animal ownership
The Egyptian law prohibits the ownership of dangerous animals without the approval of the authorities, as the House of Representatives finally approved a bill regulating the possession of dangerous animals in May of last year.
The law stipulates that owners of dangerous animals must arrange their status within a period not exceeding one year from the date of issuance of its executive regulations, and they must obtain the necessary license to acquire the animal or surrender it to the authorities.
The law imposes a set of conditions for licensing animals, including the age of the animal owner not being less than 16 years old, and the animal must be muzzled and restrained with a suitable collar when taken outside its accommodation area. It also prohibits taking any of the dangerous animals to public places.
