Key points

  • Current regulations for exotic pets are fragmented and inconsistent across different EU member states.
  • The trade in wild animals poses a significant risk to human health through the potential spread of diseases from animals to humans.
  • Invasive species cause massive biodiversity loss and cost the EU approximately 12 billion euros every year.
  • Many exotic animals suffer high mortality rates due to poor conditions during capture and transport.
