So you're an animal lover, you've had dogs, cats and maybe even a few rabbits. Now you're looking to get a little more exotic, well watch out because you could get in a heap of trouble for keeping certain animals as pets.

Unfortunately for us, many wild animals can be too dangerous to be kept as pets, and I'm sure they wouldn't be too happy either. Not only that, but if you live in Connecticut or New York, it's just downright illegal to keep any of the animals as pets.
