dangerous animals

If you thought ticks and mosquitoes were the most dangerous creatures you need to worry about encountering in Wisconsin, think again.

They're very much alive, very much disease-ridden, and very much can kill you and your little dog too.

Last week, we covered the topic of how many dogs an Illinois resident is legally allowed to have hanging around the house (read up on it here), so as a natural extension of that sort of thing, today we'll look at what animals you, as an Illinoisan, are prohibited from having as a pet.

Just seeing one of these things brings shivers down my spine.

If you guessed "the two-legged kind," you would technically be correct. We humans pose a lot more danger to each other than animals do, but we're talking about four legs (mostly), fur (sometimes), and fangs here.
