harristotle Posted December 5, 2005 Report Share Posted December 5, 2005 Hey guys, I am really interested in keeping fish and other animals of the more exotic nature. I've been trying to find out more about obtaining a zoo license for days now, but haven't found anything! All I know is that they're very expensive to get. If any1 could help me, would apreciate it.

vimmer Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 You'll want to check out the MAF and DOC websites. It's not going to be easy - especially when it comes to security and quarantines. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brianemone Posted December 7, 2005 Report Share Posted December 7, 2005 if its just for your personal enjoyment you might also find it rather difficult to justify the relevant expense's. (barring the possibility that your a millionaire with nothing better to do, but then you could just pay someone to sort it all out for you) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harristotle Posted December 8, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 Thanks guys. Does MAF have a website for this kind of thing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alanmin4304 Posted December 9, 2005 Report Share Posted December 9, 2005 You should check with the local council to see how a zoo fits into the district plan also. For some strange reason councils don't think keeping elephants fits in well with most peoples ideas of a compatible use in a residential zone.

Aqua Posted December 11, 2005 Report Share Posted December 11, 2005 Maybe they wouldn't be so worried if it was like a public aquarium though... Then again, maybe they would be! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
