: i have a very big question. there are so many animals i see and say,"i'd like to keep that as a pet." i see the pets sold at pet stores and then i find out the pets are endangered; sometimes for quite a few decades. when i read books on the matter i find out it doesnt even matter if i can prove the animal was bred in a state where there is no protection its still illegal. just the other day i saw a guy on the television showing how he breeds alligator snapping turtles for sale on his property. i'm acutally saying all this because i wanted to have an octopus as a pet and then i hear its protected.(some breeds at least). is there some place on line that i can get accurate, up to date info on how to keep my pets "legal?"
