Every once in a while I click the "Marketplace" application on my Facebook page (in case someone is giving away a free bed that I could use). Upon doing so yesterday I saw a pet Wallaby for sale for $1,200.
I want one.
However, the question is...can I have one? Are wallabys...or is it wallabies...or maybe walleye...no that's definitely not it...you know what I mean...but are they legal in this state?
Well let's start with what we know is legal: cats and dogs (unless your landlord says no then you'll be out on the street), most lizards, but those are basic pets. Here's a little snippet into the unusual (and expensive) pets.
World's most expensive pets:
Green Monkey: $16 million
 |
| Legal in Ohio |
Missy: $1.2 million
 |
| Legal in Ohio |
Capuchin Monkey: $10,000
 |
| Legal in Ohio |
That's right. I said LEGAL! There are neither bans nor requirements on monkey ownership in Ohio so go for it! Buy your monkey!
Need a less feminine monkey? Try these guys!
De Brazza's Monkey: $7,000-$10,000
Squirrel Monkey: $4,000
So now you're saying "No Way! I can't afford that! I'd rather have a cat or dog, they're way cheaper!" I say, "Think again."
Tibetan Mastiff: $582,000
Cavalier King Spaniel: $500,000
Savannah Cat: $10,000
Bengal Cat: $3,000
The price of that Wallaby is looking pretty good now isn't it? And according to my research, they're legal! Better find that guy on Facebook before he sells this deal of a pet to someone else!
