entertainment news uk: How do I get an exotic pet license? | Pet oNo

ok I?m 14 years old and I was wondering what it takes to get an Exotic Pet license in Minnesota. I want to get a pet raccoon.

A 14 year old is not able to get a license for that, only your parents would. Usually to obtain this kind of license, you need a legit reason, you cannot just get one because you want one, which basically means you cannot have one as a regular pet, you can just get them for rehabilitating or like zoos can have these animals for educations purposes ect.

And according to this pet raccoon website it is illegal to keep them as pets in your state, a license is irrelevant:

Even if it was legal, you are not old enough or mature enough to care for and handle this kind of pet. They are wild animals, not domesticated like most common pets, so it takes experience to own and handle them. Young kids should not have these kinds of pets. They can be destructive without the right care and proper knowledge. They can chew things, they can bite, they cannot be kept in a cage, they need special vets (regular vets usually won?t see wild animals because of health risks) so you would probably need to drive hours and pay quite a fee to get it taken care of, they have special dietary requirements, and they live longer than you can commit to at this age.

Maybe in 15 years if you?re still interested and you live in a different state where pet raccoons are legal, and you do a lot of research and find someone who breeds them, then you can start to consider it. But all in all I would not suggest getting a pet raccoon. You may think they?re cute, but that doesn?t mean you should own one.

Raccoons aren?t even rodents, if you don?t know that, you shouldn?t be owning one regardless. It takes tons of knowledge, money, and responsibility to own wild animals.
