Coyotes, wolves, tigers, lions, non-native bears, and great apes are prohibited by South Carolina law, except for those owned or registered before January 2018. You will need a permit to own bison, foxes, raccoons, bobcats, beavers and deer. You do not need a permit to own monkeys, reptiles, amphibians, parrots, tropical fish, rabbits or small rodents such as gerbils, hamsters, guinea pigs and mice. However, raccoons tend to be mischievous and unpredictable, which is why it is generally advisable not to have them as pets. In addition, they need a lot of space to explore, climb and move, so they do not do well in cages or small rooms. They also tend to be destructive, so you may find that they eat your furniture, bedding, and clothes, and knock over objects. As a bonus, raccoons can pierce latches and other secure areas if they wish, which is why they have a «masked bandit call.» In Oregon, it is illegal to own wild cats, bears other than black bears, dogs, monkeys, alligators, crocodiles or caimans not native to Oregon. You can get a special permit for a service monkey. Animals you can have without permission include alpacas, ferrets, bison, camels, chinchillas, emus, ostriches, llamas, lemurs, sugar gliders and giraffes. Failure to obtain the proper permits can result in a fine and confiscation of your pet.
In addition, many veterinarians do not treat raccoons without the necessary permits, as this can compromise their license to practice. Indiana is one of the most lenient states; It doesn`t ban pets, but you`ll need permits for most of them. You will need permits for Class I squirrels and non-native rabbits, Class II mammals and Class III dangerous exotic animals, including big cats, bears, wolves, hyenas, venomous reptiles, gorillas, Burmese pythons, anacondas, etc. You don`t need permits for ordinary pets, including exotic animals such as sugar gliders, ferrets, savannah cats, foxes, prairie dogs, raccoons, and skunks. This red fox narrowly escaped euthanasia after being raised illegally from an early age. With months of work, we managed to «poach him again» and free him away from humanity. Large carnivores such as lions, tigers and bears belong illegally, as do monkeys, baboons and macaques. There is also a limit of six animals per owner for bobcats, squirrels, rabbits, raccoons, quails, opossums, coyotes, deer, red foxes and grey foxes. If you acquired an animal in another state, you must prove that it was acquired legally. In addition to these laws, also look for regulations for raccoon owners. These regulations often answer questions such as, «What happens if my raccoon scratches or bites someone?» Since raccoons are wild animals, they can be euthanized if your raccoon is problematic.
You want to make your home child-proof and install a litter box. Like children, raccoons are curious and playful and also destructive, so prepare your home accordingly and play with them accordingly. So, this is the legal mess and why it exists. I also touched on a few other topics, especially knowledge. A group of baby raccoons immediately brought in. They received proper care and nutrition from us and were discharged months later as healthy young adults. Problems and complaints regarding native and imported non-native wildlife do not legally fall within the jurisdiction and powers of the ODWC, and therefore complaints about these species are in no way covered by this program. Problems with these animals and their owners are usually the responsibility of local or regional governments. In the state of Oklahoma, ALL native wildlife is protected by law. These include: mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians.
This means that you can`t get these animals out of the wild without the right permits (and sometimes not even at that time). Reptiles and amphibians need a government permit to collect in the wild, and no more than 6 species can be kept in captivity. Mammals may not be taken from the wild for personal use (except for those permitted by hunting regulations). This means that you cannot legally take a baby fox, bobcat or skunk out of nature and raise it as a pet. You also can`t keep the coyote, bat, or mountain lion injured you found. If he was born wild, he must remain wild. However, you CAN have some of them as pets if you take the right steps to do so. Foxes, skunks, squirrels and so on are all legal to have as pets in Oklahoma IF you get the right permits for them AND buy them from a breeder! They must be bred in captivity and not harvested from the wild.
