You need a licence to keep some animals considered to be wild, dangerous or exotic.

For example:

  • wild cats
  • primates
  • wild dogs, e.g. wolves
  • certain pigs, e.g. wild boar
  • marsupials

See which animals are classed as dangerous wild animals in The Dangerous Wild Animals Act 1976.

If you have any queries about licensing or would like to make a report or complaint about the keeping on Dangerous Wild Animals please email the details to animal.control@gravesham.gov.uk
