State Regulations for Pet Raccoons<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
For many states, the short answer to the question, \u201cIs it\nillegal to own a pet raccoon?\u201d is \u201cno.\u201d However, in these states where exotic\npet ownership of raccoons is permitted, there are usually several prerequisites\nand requirements that one must meet in order to adopt a pet raccoon. Common\nrules include obtaining specific documentation and licensing, such as a legal\npermit and state approval, as well as, pay annual fees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Additionally, a state\u2019s wildlife possession laws vary depending\non the intended use of the animal. The state wants to know if a person intends\nto use the animal for commercial use or non-commercial use. This means, \u201cAre\nyou going to sell the raccoon, breed the raccoon and sell the kits, or keep it\nas a pet?\u201d Different permits are required and assigned for the different\nintended uses of a raccoon. And these uses must be revealed and verified before\npermits are approved.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Furbearing Mammal Possession Laws <\/h2>\n\n\n\n
If a person\u2019s intentions are merely non-commercial, they\nwill need a Furbearing Mammal Breeder\/Possession Permit. There are two classes\nfor this permit: Class A, and Class B. For those who wish to keep protected\nwildlife for non-commercial use, they will need a Class A permit. For those who\nintend to use protected animals for commercial purposes, they will need a Class\nB permit. The fee for a Class A permit is only $10, and then $25 annually.\nAgain, it is only intended for those who keep a raccoon solely as a pet. Class\nB permits are $20 and $25 annually. Class B allows a person to breed and sell\nprotected wildlife. Keep in mind these are just averages, and fees vary from\ncounty to county and among individual states. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Another stipulation to Furbearing Mammal Possession Laws is\nthat a person must purchase or obtain a pet raccoon from a licensed breeder\nonly. They must file and receive their legal permit before purchasing or\nadopting a pet raccoon. People are not allowed to catch, trap, or take a wild\nraccoon from nature and keep it as a pet. They will not be approved for any exotic\nanimal possession permits. It is strictly forbidden. A person must adopt a\nraccoon from a licensed raccoon breeder; and they must file and receive a legal\npermit before doing so. If these rules are not followed, then the law is being\nbroken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
