Heh fair enough.
I guess I could if I would. Maybe what I'm asking is why do the laws allow this?
I actually knew (or knew of, was on the property that was rented out for a wedding party) of a guy who had moved from Russia (or the USSR) many years previous and brought with him two yaks, and two Siberian tigers. Local livestock officials (I imagine Alberta law of some sort) allowed him to keep the yaks, but the tigers had to be donated to a zoo. As the story went, they went to the Vancouver zoo.
EDIT: I can't even imagine what would be the process for bringing two tigers and two yaks from Russia. Course the further back you go, rich people brought game and weird pets from all corners of the world.
