[FEL-L] Question

[Lynn Culver]

It is legal to do so with any non-endangered cats, such as serval or bobcat
or lion.

It is legal to sell an endangered pelt in-state only - it cannot be
advertised, or sold, out of state.

However, in the case of tiger, I believe Congress passed a special federal
law that prohibits the commerical trade of any tiger body part. It's to stop
the Chinese medicine trade, but would apply to the pelt as well.

  Hi all,

  Just wondering if anyone knows if it is legal for a zoo/sanctuary/private
owner to pelt a cat once it has died of natural causes?  If so, is it legal
to sell the the pelt?  What are your opinions on this?
