RYAN JOHNSON | WILD THINGS FOR INDIANAPOLIS MONTHLY
January 12, 2022 Ryan Johnson
“I’m getting really chummy with the raccoon in my yard….and what other wild animals can we take in?” Here’s a fun piece by #lcmartist Ryan Johnson for Indianapolis Monthly. This is truly wild (no pun intended) but “you’ll be thrilled to learn (though your neighbors might be less so) that Indiana possesses some of the nation’s loosest wild animal ownership laws. So if you really want to bring that raccoon into your home, give it a bubble bath, dress it in crocheted outfits, and call it Johnny Trash, all you need to do is prove that it’s disease free, kept in adequate accommodations, and not abused. Oh, and fork over a $10 licensing fee. If you’re interested in adopting something larger and more dangerous, Indiana still totally has your back.”
