In some states it is legal. The answer previously given is incorrect. There are many states that do allow you do own a zebra. Keep in mind they are wild animals and can be unpredictable. They are very different from horses they are harder to train, they are much stronger, and they will bite. Do your homework and make sure you are ready before you buy a zebra.

No, this is considered a violation of animal rights. Only zoos are permitted to own zebras.

******************

That is not really true. In many areas it is possible to get a permit to own certain wild animals. And "animal rights" has nothing to do with who owns them.

Yes it is but they have to be licensed as they are classed as a dangerous animal.

There can be restrictions on owning exotic pets depending on where you live. To be safe, call your local animal control and ask.
