list of legal pets in ohio 2020

I have owned & currently own EXOTIC cats that obviously pose little or no danger to my family nor the general public, (all have been small exotic cats with the exception to one Florida Panther to which we got at 2 weeks of age & she passed away of natural causes at the age of 19 years) ..And, yes, each & every Exotic cat that I have owned over the past 25 years were & are properly (not popularly) kept. Medium-sized carnivores such as lynxes, servals, and caracals pose no more threat in society than similarly-sized domestic dogs (and in many cases, less).Many of the monkeys on the list are smaller species, so it is confusing why they are specifically banned while even lemurs are not. I have a "tendency" to bring my job home with me instead of leaving it at work where it should be left, (and, you are not the only one that has pointed this out to me)... My job is to poke holes in the prosecutors case & to create reasonable doubt. Otherwise, they are prohibited from owning as pets.Large carnivores (lions, tigers, and bears) are prohibited from owning. However, you can keep a non-human primate.Since 2007, Washington state laws changed to restrict harmful animals from being kept as pets. Melissa cares for a variety of exotic animals and has completed a certificate in veterinary assisting and a bachelor's degree in biology.The Zanesville, Ohio, "Zoo Massacre," which ended with the deaths of 18 tigers, 17 lions, 6 black bears, 2 grizzly bears, 3 mountain lions, 2 wolves, and a baboon after they were allegedly set free by their suicidal owner, Terry Thompson, sent legislators into a frenzy to amend previous bills that were said to be far too lenient on what exotic pets could be legally owned in Ohio.Prior to the incident, Governor Kasich's task force, which was composed of organizations like the HSUS and the American Zoological Association, originally were examining the state's lack of regulations when the Zanesville incident propelled the issue into the spotlight and largely contributed to the support of the finished bill.The new Ohio Dangerous Wild Animal Act had widespread approval and was passed by the House Agriculture & Natural Resources Committee in a 87–9 vote (the previous S.B. That’s not how it works.Jazzlynn Cotton: You're not being 'effected' by being forced to ask if the code written right on Ohio Laws and Rules website: "935.041 Registration of certain marmosets, monkeys, capuchins and lemurs." Can you own a capuchin but not a tamerin or only tamerins listed?I don't know why these people don't think this through.

Gray wolves, excluding hybrids. I'm from Harrison County in Ohio, one county away from Muskingum county where Zanesville resides. WILD animals were born in the WILD & I for one would never take ANY animal out of the wild, not even a bird, ant, etc..If they were born in the wild, then that's where they need to stay-IN THE WILD. And I do agree with Melissa some animals listed should not be listed. certain tamerins illegal ? "I have bolded animals that obviously pose little or no danger to the public, and/or are popularly kept"I am pretty sure that I actually read before I write anything & I certainly hope that I can read & understand English Melissa, if not then I had better ask for a refund for all the money I spent attending college for 8 years.

The ban could inevitably affect smaller businesses such as those that present animals for educational purposes and will force many owners to give up their animals.Such inflexible bans on the rights of the population should be considered as a last option, and this ordinance is far from necessary. You see if Mr Thompson was the one who released those animals then why didn't he release all of them and why did he focused on the largest and most dangerous ?Amber, according to ODA (Ohio Department of Agriculture), tamarins (of any kind) are not legal in Ohio. Comments are not for promoting your articles or other sites.the reason you cannot have some snakes is because they will damage the ecosystem like in florida with burmese pythons or hawaii with cane toadsAm I allowed to have capuchin monkey they’re really cate and I want one ,but don’t know if it’s legalAm I able to own a Czechoslovakian Wolfdog? This is just as bad a problem, as having to euthanize all the dogs and cats that don't have homes. I guess I cant own one as a pet in ohio correctLife Liberty and the pursuit of happiness If I can afford and want a Tiger who is to say I cantWhy just kill all those animals rather than tranquilizing them and sending them to zoos and/or animal preserves?
