Why are animals like Zebras and Emus which rarely kill people on the DWA but some deadly animals like Octopus and Jellyfish not?
The DWA is there to protect the public, not the keeper. You are entitled to endanger your own life, but not the lives of others. There are some deadly marine animals that can be kept with no license, because these cannot survive outside their environment, and should they escape, would not pose a danger to the general public. Animals like Zebra and Emu are included because a kick from one can serious injure or kill. DWA needs to consider the potential maximum danger to the public should the animal escape.
