4 out of 50 States disallow ownership of both Sugar Gliders and Hedgehogs in fear that these tiny creatures could cause harm to the ecosystem. However, bears and lions, among other animals, are exotic pets you can legally obtain permits to own or deal. Pennsylvania is unfortunately one of these four states. By legalizing ownership of these pets, it would increase township income with lifetime permit/registration fees. 92% of our country s allow a pocket pet and 8% be denies ownership. Pennsylvania is surrounded by states that allow them, now it is time for them to join the majority.
