This site will be continually under construction and changing as the states, counties and municipals continually change their regulations and laws. These are the current regulations for 1996 that we have received to date. If you have other information, please let us know the citations of those laws or regulations, the state and when the changes went or will go into effect by sending e-mail to lawschange@monkeymaddness.com.
From everything Mark could gather, there are no permits required for ANYTHING in SC. He also contacted Doc from T.I.G.E.R.S (the institute of greatly endangered and rare species). Doc is the guy who owns and trained all of the animals for both "Ace Ventura" movies (He lives here in Myrtle Beach). He told me that there are no permits required for pet elephants or tigers or anything. You do need a USDA if you breed or use the animals for some commercial purpose.
