Dane County Chapter 47 addresses dangerous animals. Wisconsin DNR licensing is required for most exotic/wild animals. Possessing unregistered exotic wildlife is illegal under state law.
Dane County Chapter 47 includes provisions for dangerous animal declarations based on behavior. The possession of wild animals or exotic species in Wisconsin requires licensing under the Wisconsin DNR under Wis. Stat. §29. Certain exotic species (large cats, venomous snakes, primates) are considered inherently dangerous and face additional state restrictions. Dane County does not have a separate exotic pet ban beyond state law, but Chapter 47 allows the county to address dangerous individual animals regardless of species.
Possessing unlicensed exotic wildlife can result in DNR citations and required surrender of the animal. Animals that threaten public safety may be ordered removed under Chapter 47.
