Wyoming Is One Of The Few Pro-Raccoon States

For some people talking to their pet may be the only time they say a word during the day. Pets are an important part of many people's lives.

When it comes to choosing a pet, for some, it's a difficult task. There are many factors you have to figure into the situation before making your final decision.

Here are some of those things you need to consider:

Finances - what kind of pet can you afford
Schedule - what kind of pet can you fit into your free time
Lifestyle - are you too active for some pets or too inactive for others
Affects On Life - Does this pet fit into your future plans?
Current Pet Situation - Is adding another pet going to interfere with the pets you already have?
Legalities - Are you allowed to have a pet or certain species for pets?

Looking at those potential issues before just going out and getting a pet will be very beneficial.

Let's focus for a minute on the last of those "potential issues"...Legalities.

Can you legally have that certain pet you're thinking about getting? Your landlord, town or states have laws against you having a certain number of pets and even as far as if you can actually have a certain animal as a pet.

One pet in particular we're talking about is the Raccoon. The "Procyon lotor".

According to wisevoter.com, if you're in 37 of the 50 United States, you CAN NOT have a raccoon as a pet.

That means there are 13 States where it's ok to have a pet Raccoon, and luckily for you, Wyoming is one of those 13 states.
