Why would it be illegal
It’s not illegal in Canada
does anyone ever really own a capybara, or does capybara own u?
Wait what? And to think I wasted my santa wish on a new TV.
[Its impossible to be unhappy near a capy tho](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3BRVi5m7A_k&list=RD3BRVi5m7A_k)
No wonder the States wants Greenland
It’s illegal in Costa Rica to import and/or poses any wild animal.
That’s why Circuses are virtually ilegal and don’t come anymore.
It’s not illegal anywhere as long as you are licensed and a Zoo ..
What a bummer, i realy wanted one..
There is no capybara on the official list of animals explicitly banned for private ownership in Ukraine (there’s no exact list). That doesn’t automatically make it legal or practical, but it’s not specifically prohibited by name.
Thanks god I live in green
Source: none
US isn’t the only federalized state, it should be the only country with the subdivision seperated on this post
I don’t think it’s legal in Brazil
Finally Greenland with data.
What a crappy map. Where’s the Pacific Ocean?
The map is wrong. It’s legal to own a capybara in the UK. (One probably needs a licence under the Dangerous Wild Animals Act.)
I live in Colorado and today I learned…our bureaucrats took the time to make it illegal to own a capybara…..
How would you even get the information? I am a German lawyer and it would take me hours just to know the law for capybaras in my own country. So I call mapporn bullshit.
Should be legal to own in China
Own as an individual I assume? Because there are capybaras in the UK and they’re not wild so they’re owned by a business or charity at least
Don’t show my daughter this, I’d never hear the end of it.
It’s legal in Ukraine
finally a mapporn post that isn’t overtly racist
You can’t just own a capy,
They’re supposed to find you.
Poor New Zealand. Never get map respect
Coconut doggy!
From what i quickly found in the website of Belarus‘ Embassy in the USA , you can have an exotic pet in Belarus , but you need to have stuff like documents and vaccinations, though that’s apparently not much abt owning as it is about importing them into Belarus , so we could say that if that meets the requirements for import , you could MAYBE own one
Absolutely illegal in Brazil. Even recently, an „influencer“ who owned a capybara had to return it to the wild.
Pretty much every animal is legal to own in texas.
For once Indiana has something I can get behind!!
Yeah, people also eat them lol
Worry not capybara fans of the UK, once I’ve got through with collaborating with the raccoon invasion no one is going to care if you have some capys in your yard, it would be like worrying about about the Feng Shui of a nuclear crater.
Grey means I’m good right? * orders capybara*
I’m from Brazil and it’s not as simple as that. Capivaras are wild animals and as such are actually protected by the Constitution, you can’t even transport one without the proper governmental authorization. If you just snatch one from nature you will face fines and possibly jail too since it’s an Environmental Crime. They’re not pets.
In order to legally have a Capivara you first need to contact IBAMA. Then you need a whole bunch of documentation showing that you have the financial means to take care of it, that the animal will be well kept and that your home (or place where the animal will be staying) is properly kept, and that the animal will come from a licensed „criadouro“ (breeding site).
It’s a very hard process and most people won’t ever be able to do it, as it’s also very expensive.
