A bill introduced in the New York State Senate would officially ban exotic animals from being imported and sold as pets.
would expand the definition of wild and exotic animalsThis bill came about after an illegal petting zoo on Long Island started selling exotic animals including sloths and kangaroos as pets, according to the justification statement.
The hope is that the bill closes the loophole that allows the sale of certain exotic animals based on the definition currently being used. The definition would be expanded to say that exotic animals are defined as "a wild animal with an origin of a different continent," according to the bill. It would then add those animals to the "non-companion" animal list that can't be bought or sold as domestic pets.
