Can you own a honey badger in the UK?

In the UK, it is illegal to own a honey badger as a pet. Honey badgers are classified as wild animals and are protected under the Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981. Keeping them as pets is not only illegal but also poses significant challenges due to their aggressive nature and specialized care requirements. If you're interested in exotic animals, it's best to research species that are legal and suitable for domestication.
