Either in a zoo or as a &amp;quot;pet&amp;quot;?

If you are a member you can access this on the website, if not you could contact them via the website and ask nicely if they would be willing to provide the info! There are also plenty of working group guidelines in exotic felids freely available:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;There is a lot of ill feeling in the hobby about expertise of veterinary DWA inspectors and I would suggest if you aren&amp;#39;t familiar with exotic felids that you consider declining to act as an advisor for the council in this case.&lt;/p&gt;
