Exotic Animal Ownership

Our Position

Phoenix Exotic Wildlife Association believes in the right to legal, responsible ownership of exotic animals. It is our position that large exotic felines and potentially dangerous animals should be under the care of experienced and trained individuals who are able to provide a safe, secure environment for these animals and prevent risk to the animal and public.

We are an organization that supports legal and responsible ownership with emphasis on animal welfare issues based on quality care, appropriate caging, and sound husbandry practices.

We advise all potential owners of exotic animals to research their local ordinances, state and federal rules and regulations prior to acquiring an exotic animal. We also strongly encourage potential owners to obtain the necessary training/education and research of selected species prior to taking an animal under their care.
