Ok i saw this deer at a zoo, and it was in love with me, it was kissing me, ugh it was so cute! I want to get one and my parents think it would be ok, we would build a shed it our back yard, let in roam during the day. Is it illigal in NY? Were can i buy it? Do they ship to me? Can i get a permit?

Answer 1

Muntjacs are wild animals from South America. They have sharp horns and tusks, and most probably won't be as nice as the one you saw. I doubt it would be a good idea! Its probably illegal, and it needs other Muntjacs and forest space and the right food (that probably is from South America too).
