NEW YORK (WABC) -- A bill introduced in the New York State Senate would officially ban exotic animals from being imported and sold as pets.
New York State Senator Monica Martinez sponsors the bill that would expand the definition of wild and exotic animals to prohibit the sales of animals that should be kept in the wild.
"These animals have requirements, specific conditions, and habitat for survival," Martinez said.
