I thought that some of those were illegal to have as a person?

Nope, these are all completely legal. And it's not that hard to get them either. You can go to a breeder or pet-dealer, and if you have money, there will be no questions asked when you buy a lynx or a other dangerous predatory animal, that you would like to keep in your backyard.

Some might not be legal anymore soon though... Pet raccoons for example, have been causing trouble lately. So they will most likely be taken of the list next time they make one. (they are a danger to our native wildlife if they escape, and they can carry parasites that are deadly to children.)

wait, does it state in the law that you are allowed to have these,or is it just not forbidden?

They made of list that specificly states what you can and can't keep. These animals are written down as legal to own. Sometimes it states the specific species, sometimes the entire genus. (For example the entire genus Sus (pig-like animals) is allowed.)

Bisons

If I remember correctly, you can only keep bisons if you intend to eat them.

Wouldn't want to have to get that out of the grassland to take him to the butcher though... those beasts can kill you without even trying.

They can bring a house down if the wanted to!! crazy pet to have home uh?

I've seen them up close in the zoo, they are huge animals, I wouldn't be surprised if they took down a house.
They don't seem very aggressive though. I think they probably behave pretty much like normal cows.

But still, wouldn't be the first animal I would think of to get as a pet.

I want Jjay as a pet, is that legal?
Normally i am against animal cruelty... but in this case!

Humans are not an endangered species, and are not protected by the CITES law. It is therefore legal to sell products made from humans. So, yeah, go ahead. Maybe you can make a deal with Jjay's current owners.

But please do think before buying a human slave. Make sure you have enough information about it’s care, a proper cage, and the right food before making your purchase. Pets are a big responsibility!

it IS forbidden to own humans as a pet, since it's concidered slavery and therefor forbidden. Besides, i'd crap all over the house and chew up your slippers, so it's not that good of an idea.

It is legal if you call it adoption!

And it really is legal to sell products made out of humans. The taxidermist store I sometimes visit sells the antique skulls of african humans, and he told me he could also get skulls from people who recently died. They cost around 2000 euros.

My uncle wants a wallet made out of human skin, possible?

Possible, but difficult. Bones are easier to obtain. I could ask a taxidermist if he reeeeaaaally wants it.
