One of 2020's most popular television shows was the Netflix documentary Tiger King: Murder, Mayhem and Madness. It shared stories about owners of tigers, lions and wildlife attractions in the US.
However, with several US senators citing the show as inspiration for a new bill that would ban people from owning big cats, it seems not everybody was a fan.
 
The bill is called the Big Cat Public Safety Act, and would ban the private ownership of animals such as lions and tigers. It would also ban people from moving big cats between states or breeding them. Zoos and certain organizations would still be able to own them, but public contact with the animals wouldn't be allowed.
 
The bill is being supported by senators from both of the largest US political parties. Republican senator Susan Collins said that big cats belong in nature, and that private owners will not always care for them properly. Democratic senator Richard Blumenthal wrote on Twitter that the bill would not only protect big cats, but it would also make people safer.
 
In December, a similar bill was voted on by the House of Representatives and won 272 to 114. However, it didn't become law.
 
According to the World Wildlife Fund, there are around 5,000 captive tigers in the US, which is more than the 3,900 that are thought to remain in the wild.
 
🌏Summary🌏
2020年最熱門的電視劇是Netflix紀錄片《虎王：謀殺，混亂與瘋狂》。 它分享的故事是關於美國老虎、獅子和野生動物景點的擁有者。不過，數名美國參議員以此節目作為發想，提出禁止民眾擁有大貓的法條，但看似不是大家都肯買單。該法案由美國兩大政黨的參議員所支持。 共和黨參議員Susan Collins說大貓屬於大自然，私人飼主並不會總是適當的照護牠們。 民主黨參議員Richard Blumenthal在推特上寫說，這條法案不只會保護大貓，也會讓民眾更安全。
