Can you have a pet bobcat in british columbia?

Question

i allwas wanted a pet bobcat i live in sarnia ontario and moving to bc could you help out

Answer 1

Not without getting many, many expensive permits and building an enclosure it can not escape from.

Answer 2

a/ there are no bobcats in BC. We have cougars and b/ no it is

illegal to keep wild animals

Answer 3

would depend on the city you live in. most have bylaws against owning wild or exotic animals. Usually because some idiot wanted to own one and couldn't control it. That's why my city has that particular bylaw. Guy owned a cougar, it kept getting away from him. the neighbours kept complaining because it was stalking pets and kids in the area

Answer 4

I couldn't find anything about if you are allowed to own one or not but I totally want a pet bobcat too! :)
