Explicación Simple

Si tienes un gran animal carnívoro, como un león, necesitas un permiso para cuidarlo. Debes solicitarlo dentro de los 60 días desde el 1 de enero de 2012.

Es como si quisieras tener un coche deportivo; necesitas un permiso para manejarlo y asegurarte de que esté en buenas condiciones.
