Egyptian law prohibits the possession of dangerous animals except with the approval of the authorities, as the House of Representatives finally approved a draft law regulating the possession of dangerous animals last May.
Article Two of the law also stipulates that owners of dangerous animals must arrange their situation within a period not exceeding one year from the date of issuance of its executive regulations, and they must obtain the necessary license to own the animal or hand it over to the authorities.
The law sets a set of requirements for licensing animals, including that the age of those accompanying the animals must not be less than 16 years, and that they must be muzzled and tied with a suitable collar when taking them outside the boundaries of their shelters. It also prohibits taking any dangerous animals in public places.
