Oh I agree. Even if they are native, endangered, illegal, ANY & ALL wild animals should be just that, wild NOT PETS!

But am still wondering if it is at all possible to own an endangered species legally?
I would imagine you'd have to have some sort of permit, but do you also have to be part of a wild life rehab or refuge or zoo or the like?

I did a few quick searches when I get a few spare minutes & can't find the answer yet.
