  • Ferret on Random Pets That Are Banned Around World And Why

    (#4) Ferret

    • Mustela putorius furo

    Ferrets are only completely banned in two states - California and Hawaii - but some cities have also banned them (e.g. Dallas, New York City, and Washington, DC). 

    In California, ferrets are banned due to the risk that they could start a population of wild ferrets. Hawaii bans ferrets because they can carry rabies; this is of particular concern to the Hawaiian government because the state is free of rabies (and would like to keep it that way). 

  • Hamster on Random Pets That Are Banned Around World And Why

    (#5) Hamster

    • Cricetinae

    Hamsters and gerbils are outlawed in Hawaii. The Hawaiian government is concerned that hamsters could easily establish themselves as an invasive species in Hawaii, given that hamsters are suited for Hawaii's climate. If hamsters were introduced into the wild, they could have a serious impact on native plants and animals.

  • Hermit crab on Random Pets That Are Banned Around World And Why

    (#10) Hermit crab

    • Paguroidea

    The list of animals not allowed in Hawaii is pretty long, but Carribbean hermit crabs are one of the most interesting animals that are prohibited. No reason for the ban is listed but, given Hawaii's strict regulations, it seems likely that it's a preventive measure taken so that Carribbean hermit crabs don't establish themselves as an invasive species.

  • Quaker Parrots on Random Pets That Are Banned Around World And Why

    (#8) Quaker Parrots

    The Quaker parrot (also known as the monk parakeet) finds itself on the restricted list because it could end up as an invasive species, impacting the population of native animals. Quaker parrots can be found in the wild in New York, Texas, and Florida. In states where owning a Quaker parrot is legal, there are usually some restrictions (e.g. the bird must be banded, its wings must be clipped, or a permit is required).

  • Hedgehog on Random Pets That Are Banned Around World And Why

    (#3) Hedgehog

    • Erinaceinae

    Hedgehogs, as tiny and adorable as they may be, are a surprisingly hot-button legal issue. They're completely illegal in California, Georgia, Hawaii, Pennsylvania, and Washington, DC. 

    The reasons behind hedgehog bans are similar to bans on other small rodents. They can harm their environment if they become established in the wild, and they can transmit illnesses like foot-and-mouth disease to humans.

  • Pit bull on Random Pets That Are Banned Around World And Why

    (#1) Pit bull

    Pit bulls and their counterparts, like American bull terriers, are banned in many countries throughout the world. Many of these laws were spurred by attacks, leading to public outcry against pit bulls - or dogs that look like pit bulls. However, in some places, those laws may be changing; for example, Montreal passed breed-specific legislation in September 2016 but then overturned the law by December 2017. 

    Pit bulls were not a public concern until the late '80s. Prior, they had been considered good pets, family dogs, and guard dogs. However, dog fighting came back in the '80s, and with dog fighting came dogs that were bred and taught to be aggressive. Very quickly, many states and communities began passing breed-specific legislation. 

    Today, Montreal is not the only community that has reconsidered its pit bull ban. However, there is still a lot of breed-specific legislation out there to research before you get a pit bull.

About This Tool

If you plan to adopt pets, it is important to learn about the prohibition rules in different places. Although not all pets are banned, there are still many common types of pets on banned lists around the world, but some lack convincing evidence or reasons why they should be banned. Some animals can indeed become good friends for people, such as cats and dogs, but wild and aggressive animals should be banned. 

Here the random tool shows 10 pets that are banned around the world and also explains the reasons, these animals are dangerous not only for individuals but even for the surrounding people.
