Redact Legal West Virginia Animals Forms For Free

West Virginia recently enacted regulations for "dangerous wild animals" that allow people to apply for permits to keep them. Animals that aren't the following can be kept as pets: coyotes, minks, weasels, muskrats, beavers, opossums, polecats, otters, red and gray foxes, skunks, bobcat, fishers, and raccoons.

To put it simply: no, foxes are not legal in West Virginia. Based upon serious public health and wildlife disease concerns associated with the raccoon rabies virus, the West Virginia Division of Natural Resources (DNR) wants to remind the public that no Importation or Pet Permits are issued for raccoon, fox or skunk.

(a) Every person has a right to inspect or copy any public record of a public body in this state, except as otherwise expressly provided by section four of this article. (b) A request to inspect or copy any public record of a public body shall be made directly to the custodian of such public record.

Exempt in records: Some criminal investigations; some police reports; tax returns; medical records; personnel matters; real estate; attorney client privilege exemptions; and working papers.

Dogs and cats over 6 months of age must have been vaccinated for rabies within the previous 12 months from the date of importation. A valid CVI (Certificate of Veterinary Inspection, i.e. health certificate) is required for all animals being imported into West Virginia. CVIs expire after 30 days of issuance.

Your FOIA Rights You have the right to request to inspect or receive copies of public records, or both. You have the right to request that any charges for the requested records be estimated in advance.
