: My friend lives in Australia and he says that Sugar Gliders are protected and are illegal to sell and buy over there. Why is it legal in some states here? I don't understand how that works, since they are considered a protected species?

Well it's kinda like this: Here in the States it is illegal to own or confine a wild animal such as squirrels, raccoons, deer etc. Sugar gliders are protected over there and are often considered pests. We protect the alligators too but I'm sure there are several people in Florida who would disagree with the statement that they are rare.
