Are pygmy marmoset monkeys legal in the state of Washington?

Answer 1

Even if it is (which I doubt), it is not a good idea to take such an animal, which has very close bonds with its troop, away from the rain forest which is its natural habitat and turn it into a pet.

Answer 2

No, all nonhuman primates are considered potentially dangerous wild animals and are banned in WA.

Chapter 16.30 RCW

Dangerous wild animals

16.30.010 Definitions.

(2) "Potentially dangerous wild animal" means one of the following types of animals, whether bred in the wild or in captivity, and any or all hybrids thereof:

(a) Class mammalia

(iii) Order primates, all nonhuman primate species;

16.30.030 Prohibited behavior.

(1) A person shall not own, possess, keep, harbor, bring into the state, or have custody or control of a potentially dangerous wild animal, except as provided in subsection (3) of this section.

(2) A person shall not breed a potentially dangerous wild animal.

(3) A person in legal possession of a potentially dangerous wild animal prior to July 22, 2007, and who is the legal possessor of the animal may keep possession of the animal for the remainder of the animal's life. The person must maintain veterinary records, acquisition papers for the animal, if available, or other documents or records that establish that the person possessed the animal prior to July 22, 2007, and present the paperwork to an animal control or law enforcement authority upon request. The person shall have the burden of proving that he or she possessed the animal prior to July 22, 2007.

Answer 3

Yes. WA is one of the states that requires no legal documents or permits to own a non-human primate.
