WASHINGTON — Having a chinchilla, hedgehog or hermit crab in Virginia’s Fairfax County makes you a scofflaw, but that could soon change.
The Board of Supervisors voted Tuesday to advertise a public hearing on changes to the definitions of “commonly accepted pets” that can be kept without special, individual permission from zoning authorities.
The change is spurred in part by a 12-year-old girl’s desire to legally own a hedgehog. Hedgehogs are defined as wild or exotic animals and are illegal pets in the county. Zoning approval can be granted for a chinchilla or hermit crab.
Today in Fairfax County, residents do not need special permission to own the following: rabbits, hamsters, ferrets, gerbils, guinea pigs, mice, rats, turtles, fish, dogs, cats, birds like canaries, parakeets, doves and parrots, worm or ant farms, non-poisonous spiders, chameleons and similar lizards and non-poisonous snakes.
Can't say that this was what I expected after reading
Fairfax Co., VA may decriminalize
For a second I thought this meant that hedgehogs were literally illegal to exist right now, which would have been pretty fucking weird. Hedgehogs are actually really cute pets and adorable generally, so I'm al for this.
the only way to stop a bad hedgehog is a good hedgehog
fuckin libcucks btfo lmao
"I found you! Faker!"
fuck i love hedgehogs
but i prefer to call them a siili
Imagine getting a zoning permit to get a hermit crab, lmfao
