Is it legal to buy an ermine?

It depends on the country and state or province in which you reside. In some locations, it is illegal to buy an ermine due to its wild animal status, conservation status, or fur trade restrictions. In other locations, it may be legal to buy an ermine if it has been bred in captivity or if it has been legally hunted or trapped. If you are interested in buying an ermine, it is recommended to research the local laws and regulations to ensure that you are complying with all legal requirements.
