In the modern age, interacting with voters has never been easier. I consider myself one of the terminally online millennials that spends too much time on Twitter (or X, whichever you prefer). As such, a Granite Stater tagged me in a Twitter post that New Hampshire should legalize monkeys as pets. In the replies a list was compiled of animals that are not prohibited by other states for ownership.
With that, I volunteered to submit a bill on behalf of these folks, and the language back from OLS is the most Ron Swanson of versions imaginable, simply stating “no permit required.” I like the elegance of it a whole lot.
I have 10 days to sign off and am looking for co-sponsors, so share this to your Representatives, and we can take a step forward with liberty-via-Twitter activism!

This is wrong on so many levels.

Please do not pass this law or even suggest it. Wild animals should not be kept as pets especially vector species like raccoons, foxes and skunks because they can transmit rabies. Also most vets are not equipped to deal with these species. How will they receive the medical care they need? Most people who would want to have any of these animals for pets obviously haven’t done their homework on the needs of these animals when it comes to proper nutrition and housing. Finally once someone tires of the wild animal they have, or the animal shows it’s true colors once it is of mating age, many of these people will try to just release the animal to the wild and then the animal will become everyone’s problem.
Please, please, please let our wild animals stay wild and let species that are not native to this state stay in the environments they thrive in.
