PURPOSE: This rule establishes a new category for certain wildlife— wildlife inherently dangerous to humans and the provisions for private ownership of these species.
Class I wildlife shall include birds (including ring-necked pheasants and gray partridge) native to the continental United States, and those species of mammals (except bison and those listed in 3 CSR 10-9.240 and 3 CSR 10-9.250) and nonvenomous reptiles and amphibians native to Missouri. Permits to hold Class I wildlife in confinement will only be issued for the specific species of wildlife approved for each permit type on the Approved Confined Wildlife Species List in 3 CSR 10-9.105.
