Animal Welfare Act 1999

Care of animals - Safari parks

26: Safari parks

You could also call this:

"Rules for looking after wild animals in safari parks"

If you own or are in charge of a wild animal in a safari park, you have to follow the same rules as anyone else who owns or looks after an animal. This means you are responsible for the animal's welfare, just like you would be for any other animal. You can find more information about these rules in section 8, which applies to your situation.
