I wanted to find out if my town was an isolated thing so I phoned animal control places all over Ontario - nope - marsupials are forbidden. That doesn't make sense, That Sugar Glider book by Caroline someone gave the impression they were legal in Canada and that there were a couple states in the U.S that didn't allow them. But from the sounds of it, Ontario says it's forbidden, maybe the rest of Canada, I don't know. Any comments?
: I called Animal Control for information on 200 dogs found starving on a farm north of here, wondering how I could help. While I was at it I asked about needing a licence or anything to own or breed Sugar Gliders in my town. She says marsupials are banned! What?! I say. The pet stores sell them for heaven's sake, that's misleading to customers such as myself who aren't educated in the animal bi-laws. I ask her what would happen and she says if someone complained, they'd basically show up at my door and give me 72 hours to get rid of it. My babies! What the hell am I supposed to do now?! Don't tell me to get rid of them, I would rather cut off my arm. I wish I'd have known this beforehand....there it is again - ignorance.....
