(ii) A person must obtain a permit before taking possession of a wildlife animal. In order to obtain authorisation, the applicant shall comply with all the requirements of this Chapter and with the rules adopted by the Commission. Before granting a licence, the applicant must provide proof of liability insurance of one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000.00) for each wildlife up to a maximum of one million dollars ($1,000,000.00). The burden of proof shall be on the applicant that wild animals covered by this Chapter are or will be introduced, moved, sold, purchased or possessed in accordance with this Chapter and this Regulation. (A) Except as otherwise provided in this section or the by-laws of the section, any person who wishes to breed and sell wild birds, quadrupeds, reptiles, amphibians or fur-bearing animals in a fully enclosed reserve owned or leased, or who wishes to keep wild birds, quadrupeds, reptiles in captivity, amphibians or fur-bearing animals, must apply to the Wildlife Division for a permit. This section does not apply to persons who own wildlife under the authority of a wildlife hunting reserve or commercial shooting bird licence. To put it simply, no, foxes are not legal in Minnesota. Native foxes are illegal. Non-native foxes are legal, but as of January 2018, no one had obtained a permit for a non-native fox. In Utah, you need a permit to have bears, all non-domesticated cats, monkeys, monkeys, kangaroos, ferrets, hedgehogs, coyotes and more.

Barriers are significant in obtaining a permit; They are rarely exposed. You don`t need a permit to own alligators, crocodiles, alpacas, camels, chinchillas, ostriches, sugar gliders and penguins. G. Every person who, under this section, has such an animal or parts thereof in his lawful possession on such a posted or fenced breeding area has an ownership right in it and is the owner of it. Anyone who enters the non-wild four-legged farm or catches, takes or harasses such animals if the area has been posted or fenced in accordance with the law will be punished as if the animals were ordinary pets and are subject to the property rights of the State of Louisiana. b. Exhibitor licensed under the Animal Welfare Act, 7 U.S.C. §§ 2132-2134 and reptile exhibitors who have demonstrated to the Department, in accordance with regulations issued by the Commissioner, that the only purpose for which the wildlife or animals are used is to display to the public for profit or compensatory purposes; 8. The department, any police officer or peace officer of that state, a local animal inspection officer or a duly registered animal cruelty prevention agency is hereby authorized to enforce the provisions of this section and to notify persons who violate this section, and has the power to seize any wildlife that contravenes this section. A district animal cruelty prevention company must obtain an arrest warrant before seizing wildlife or arresting a person who owns or possesses wildlife. Wild animals seized or handed over in accordance with the provisions of this division shall be transferred to a wildlife sanctuary duly registered within the meaning of this division or to a zoological establishment or humanely euthanized. All costs related to the seizure, movement, recapture or euthanasia of wildlife are the responsibility of the person who owned, housed or possessed the animal.

The Ministry also has the authority to seek an injunction in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent continued violations of this section. 1. Any person who keeps wild animals in captivity in any manner shall have the required authorisation or proof of exemption. The renewal of authorisations shall be subject to compliance with the provisions of this Code. (b) Fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians or invertebrates illegally imported into the State or illegally possessed in the State may be seized by any official of the Ministry of Energy and Environmental Protection and moved or disposed of as determined by the Commissioner. The Ministry of Energy and Environmental Protection issues an invoice to the owner or person in illegal possession of such an animal for all costs of seizure, care, maintenance, movement or disposal of such animal. Any such animal illegally possessed may be confiscated © and moved or disposed of, as determined by the Commissioner of Environmental Protection. The Department of Environmental Protection will issue an invoice to the owner or person in illegal possession of such a potentially dangerous animal for all costs of seizure, care, maintenance, movement or disposal of such animal. In addition, any person who violates any provision of this section shall be liable to a civil fine not exceeding two thousand dollars, as determined by the court for each offense. Each violation is a separate and autonomous offence, and in the case of a continuous violation, the continuation of each day is considered a separate and autonomous offence.

The Commissioner of Environmental Protection may apply to the Attorney General for an action in the Supreme Court to recover the penalty and any money owing under an Act enacted under this section and to grant an injunction providing for such equitable and interim relief as the Tribunal considers appropriate. So yes, you have the green light for all the animals shown below, but be aware that some require a permit and others do not. Anyone who violates this chapter will be punished for each offence by a fine of up to $500, imprisonment for up to 30 days, or both. Justices of the peace have jurisdiction over the offences set out in this chapter. Q. Can I have a raccoon, skunk or opossum in New Jersey? About two and a half years ago, I emailed DNR licensing specialist Casey Reitz to inquire about non-native foxes in the state. At the time, she told me that silver foxes were not native and did not need a permit to keep wild animals in captivity. I have a copy of that email. I have to say that some of them just don`t make sense. Endangered species can be owned without regulation, while tiny mammals must be slaughtered and licensed. I don`t understand.

Georgia`s Ministry of Natural Resources describes illegal animals as naturally dangerous. This classification includes kangaroos, primates, non-domesticated dogs, non-domesticated cats, crocodiles, alligators, elephants, bats, piranhas, air-breathing catfish, Gila monsters, cobras and other venomous snakes. If you want to have a capuchin monkey as a pet, a special permit is required. You do not need a permit for sugar gliders or ferrets. Domestic rabbits and small rodents are also allowed without permission, with the exception of hedgehogs. (h) the poultry farming of non-exempt birds, including federally threatened and endangered species, authorized by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, that have been shown to be the product of captive breeding or that were legally kept prior to the approval of 321 CMR 2.12 and that are members of the following taxonomic groups: Ciconiiformes (e.g., flamingos), anseriformes (e.g., ducks, geese, swans), galliformes (e.g., pheasants, quails, grouse), gruiformes (e.g., cranes, coots), columbiformes (e.g., pigeons, pigeons), psittaciformes (e.g., parrots), piciformes (e.g., toucans), passeriformes (e.g., songbirds). Not included are wild turkey (Meleagris gallopavo) or the following potential pest species: European starling (Sturnus roseus), Red-billed Divor, including Black-fronted Sudandioch and Sudandioch (Quelea quelea) and Red-whiskered Bulbulbul (Pycnonotus jocosus). (b) The Department may, at its discretion, grant a licence to possess a potentially hazardous species only if it is clearly demonstrated that the criteria for possession of that potentially dangerous species are met. Each state has exotic or wild animal laws that determine whether a species is allowed, prohibited, or requires a special permit. In some states, you can have a squirrel or kangaroo, while other states have even banned domestic rabbits. Some states are more lenient than others.

Find out what your state`s exotic pet laws are, and before you bring a pet home or apartment, check with your local government to make sure the rules haven`t changed or that local, state, and county laws don`t prohibit the pet. Korea Are foxes legal? JAFennec foxes, red foxes, arctic foxes, pale foxes and other non-endangered species can be legally owned, whether they come from captivity – breeders, zoological facilities, fur farms – or from the wild. Japan Are foxes legal? JAFennec foxes, red foxes, arctic foxes, pale foxes and other non-endangered species, regardless of colour, can be legally owned and without a permit.
