No live animals are involved in the bush tucker trials, it revolves around edible insects.

Exemptions
Some zoos don’t need a licence because of the small number of animals, or the type of animal, kept in them. This is known as having a ‘dispensation’.

You might not have to get a licence depending on your situation. The Secretary of State will make a decision on a case-by-case basis. Usually both of the following must apply to your situation:

• very small zoos (eg zoos that have no more than around 120 animals)
• zoos that don’t have many different kinds of animals, eg deer parks

The Secretary of State will also decide if the animals are hazardous or conservation sensitive.

Contact your local authority if you think that your zoo may qualify for an exemption.
