NYC: A place I would never live in. I also own 7 «illegal» animals by these silly standards. What do you consider a «wild animal»? New York City has a fairly sophisticated and comprehensive list of animals defined as wild animals (health code 161.01) that are illegal to own, house, sell or give to another person within the boundaries of the 5 Burroughs, with the exception of certified zoological parks, laboratories, circuses and wildlife conservators. This long-nosed South American relative of the raccoon should be legal under the New York Wildlife Ordinance. Since it is not an indigenous animal, it does not fall under the laws of the native game. The coati is a relatively large animal with reasonable intelligence and capable dexterity. In New York, «big» constrictor snakes are illegal. Grand is a relative term, but it is best defined by species that have killed humans or are about the same size as those that have, although this is an extremely rare event. These snakes include anacondas, Burmese pythons, African rock pythons, and reticulated pythons, all of which are banned. Boa constrictors are relatively large snakes and there has been one recorded death by this species recently. However, they do not become as large as the others and reach 3 to 13 feet depending on the type and care. This group also includes potted belly pigs (which are domesticated), which, unlike other relatives of pigs that should only be kept outdoors, are good pets for many people and could be kept in urban places. Many people in the city keep these animals illegally.
Question: I would like to own a serval, but I am in New York State. Is it legal? I am also thinking of a Fennek fox. It is illegal to own a Capuchin monkey in New York State. Spruce Pets says, while New York law says you can`t own wild animals, including non-native cats or dogs, bears, crocodiles, venomous reptiles, and primates. But here`s what you can legally own as a pet in NYS. Many people are probably unaware that Fennek foxes are actually excellent pets (for good owners) and weigh about the same as a Chihuahua in their mature size. They are also likely to be less «dangerous» than one. In fact, although New York State has banned «wild animals,» it explicitly states an exception for fennek foxes, and they are currently legally allowed to be owned as pets.
In most cases, there is not the slightest credible evidence to create laws prohibiting people from owning these animals, but the law is easily passed because, for some reason, pet ownership is not considered a property right, as is the case with dogs and cats. Ferrets were suspected to be a danger to humans and were escaping and wandering the walls of apartments. Such claims can easily turn out to be false. Animals are legal in all other states except Hawaii and California (although they are illegally kept there in large numbers), and negative incidents in which they are involved go unreported. Either as an ecological threat or as a threat that hurts children. The same certainly cannot be said of dogs. I heard after the 3rd. Paragraph to read when the author said, «There are no laws prohibiting a cat from violating my property.» They clearly emphasize their ignorance of the law and their superficial understanding of what is legal and what is not. Their opinion is most obviously greatly clouded by their enthusiasm and obsession with animals, although justified, but it takes credibility when it deviates from its statement when they provide false facts to support their point of view. Facts that a little research would have turned out to be false.
Gather them together. Answer: Yes, I think they are legal in all 50 states. I thought while browsing this page if ferrets are legal and if you need a permit? Question: Are iguanas legal to own in upstate New York? New Yorkers should count their blessing that every animal remains legal so that they can own it. The ban seems to indicate that the city only allows the possession of dogs and other popular animals because citizens would have a cow if such a commonality were taken from them, and the draconian nature of the law would become clearer. Well, I`m glad I read the New York Department of Health website after reading this page. To authorize, there is misinformation here, especially squirrels, boa constrictors are illegal in New York. and so sugar gliders are the answer: a marble fox is a red fox with a special coat color, they are also illegal. Fortunately for New Yorkers, fennek foxes are the only species of «The Big 5» that legally belongs to the state. Before the animal ban was completed in New York City, Fennek fox owners brought their pets to meet with lawmakers.
With the truth that «some exotic animals are not so bad» looking at them in the face, this species was excluded. It is a pity that more owners of different species have not come forward and perhaps proved the truth, which should be obvious: minimal and smaller exotic animals are no more dangerous than dogs and cats and should never be banned. Unfortunately, other species of small foxes (such as the bat-eared fox) remain illegal. Domesticated dogs, on the other hand, while collectively responsible for many injuries and deaths in New York State, enjoy protection from prohibitions because breed-specific laws are prohibited. Dog owners are only faced with the consequences of mischief from their pet (or, of course, the owner) if and only when an incident actually occurs. There are also irresponsible owners of conventional pets. Whether you want to be the owner of a conventional or unconventional pet, do it right or not do it at all. There are far too many dogs – as well as other pets – that are euthanized every year. Question: Is it legal to own a captive-bred descendant skunk in New York State? If not, why not? Juan: Pretty dense, isn`t it? The definition makes it clear that illegal animals are all considered dangerous. What other reasons might there be? That they have the potential to destroy New York`s fragile, pigeon- and rat-infested ecosystem? Get a hint.
