Performing animals registration

If you exhibit or train animals for exhibition at any entertainment attended by the public (whether on payment or not) you must be registered with the local authority in whose area you reside. Premises where performing animals are being trained or exhibited can be inspected at any reasonable time by an officer of the council or a constable. Alternative registration arrangements are made for those persons of no fixed abode, enquiries under these circumstances may be made with any local authority.
