I know prairie dogs are illegal to keep as pets in Massachusetts. I know this because my new housemate-to-be has one.
It's apparently legal in this part of the country, 'cause that's how everyone caught the monkey pox last summer.
Can't you ever get your mind out of the hellmouth?

What is even happening?
A llama once vomited on my cousin (in Maine, no less).

you're on your own. Which I admire.
Yup, me too. Where I grew up there is a lot of BLM and/or Nature Conservancy land with little to no infrastructure. Which I like.
Of course, the fact that people are idiots is also why my dad can be part of 2 volunteer S&R teams for the region, and has had at least 1 callout a week since May. (Some get cancelled before he actually has to go anywhere, but still.)

What would these labels say? "Object is not immune to the laws of physics"? Will someone who doesn't understand gravity actually comprehend a warning label?
Near my parents' home is a big transformer box with a warning label that shows a frowny lightning bolt electrocuting someone: [link]

I can't help but look at it and think "Do not tamper with the Krell machine!"

You sure you just don't live near Gus?

Just one state over - and they had the monkey pox in Wisconsin, too. Though Gus claims he had nothing to do with it.

Vomit or spit? Because I know llamas are like camels in that regard (spitting when annoyed, and a lot of it).
Also, a moose once bit your sister, right?

Oh, excellent. Now I have to worry about coming down with monkey pox, although it's quite a bit more likely that I'll die of cat-scratch fever first. (Does anyone get cat-scratch fever anymore?)

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
IIRC, the bactrian (two hump) camel is nearly extinct in the wild, and not doing all that great in captivity what with the decline in nomadic populations in Mongolia, so that may be behind the unequal regulations... or perhaps the guy who thought them up figured that if dromedaries were good enough for the Bible they were good enough for MA.
