Wildlife in cages and illegal trade with tigers is becoming a big topic in Europe.

Based on the available data, privately owned tigers in the Czech Republic and Slovakia account for approximately 93% of all tigers held privately within the EU.

These days, the Slovak Environmental Ministry is working on new legislation to prevent misuse of the private breeding of wild animals. Zuzana Botiková looked closer on the topic.
