So in PA this is a weird one. You can have just about anything with an exotic animal permit. In order to get an exotic animal permit, you pay $50/yr, but you also need two years training with someone who has an exotic animal permit AND is specifically permitted to handle the type of animal you’re trying to handle. There are also rules around getting various animals at both the state and federal level, and a few species are exceptions because of their potential to go feral and ratfuck our entire ecosystem but assuming the getting is legal the having is also legal with the permit.

No you arent supposed to fuck porcupines, but thats a florida law anyways.
Really? A friend of mine had one growing up.
Apparently, illegal in a few states, including PA and CA (also known as the Buzz Kill state).
Little did I know that Ashley was a renegade outlaw critter keeper. Wildness…

This person raccoons.
Nah, I just Pennsylvania. So yeah, by necessity I raccoon a little bit from time to time.
Understandable.
Made sense until that last clause.
“But assuming the getting is legal the having is also legal with the permit.”
Could use a rephrase, or at least a comma. Am I interpreting this correctly?
“If it’s legal to get, it’s legal to have with the permit.”
For what they pay me, I’m not gonna do any copy editing.
I always do.I do that more than I should!I’m doing that too much…
Nor should you
