Hey, instead of searching through google.com until my eyes are sore, I was curious as to information regarding owning a mountain lion (cougar) as a pet, and such things as laws regarding different areas, breeders, etc. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sweetie dont keep searching these online sites for your information!!!! I have been an exotic cat owner for years and in EVERY state you have to check with your state Wild Life Reserve for your rules and regulations and follow the guide lines for your permits and licenses as well as the USDA for licenses.Some people that tell you things while trying to promote the sell of any exotic breed might tell you anything to make the sell, because after you purchase its not their problem if you get caught.If you want an exotic pet you first must check with the W.L.R. in your state to see which they allow, as well as city and county. You have to check your land, zoning and alot of things.....its not as easy as buying an animal and thats it.Some animals are no permit/no licenses, ....while others must be only if you own a zoo there are also laws about buying and transporting acrosss the state lines and orgin paper work......ect, ect, ect.You can buy almost anything, but if cought by the W.R.A. THE FINES ARE VERY HIGH !!!!!! Certain animals which can be kept inside might require that you have bars on your windows if you allow your pet to be free in the home.

It is sad that all states are not the same so it wouldnt be so hard, but there is a reason behind everything.Do your research and make sure you dont get caught in a situation where your heart is broken because you have bonded with an animal which you may never be able to see again. When they come in with a swat team and have to shoot darts to be able to transport your baby as you beg them not to, you will wish you had done your research.Trust me I moved from one state to the other but because I crossed the line into one that I was not allowed to have a cougar.........they took him after 11 years with me and all the begging and crying wouldnot change a thing. It is better to settle for something they will let you have rather than get something that will break your heart in the long run.He was native to the state which I moved to and had also been reclassified..........do your homework and not to be rude, but get it from the horses mouth rather than hear say.
