The newspaper story is about a pet Lynx that attacked a six year old girl
and so what shot and killed. Yesterday's story concerned the girl and the
circumstances of the attack. Today's question is whether the Lynx was a
legal pet. The conclusion is, "Yes it was"-- as is the cheetah-like African
wildcat that the woman also owns--but the reasoning is more complex than you
might imagine. This was a Siberian lynx, not a Canadian lynx. A Siberian
lynx is considered an "exotic" animal and falls under the jurisdiction of
the Deparment of Agriculture. The owner of a Canadian lynx, "a species
indigenous to Oregon, would have to apply for a permit with the Department
of Fish and Wildlife..."
This should clear everything up.

When a Permit is Not Required to Hold Wildlife
No Wildlife Holding Permit is required to capture and hold wildlife
except for those species listed in OAR 635-044-0005 and those species
listed in OAR 635-044-0015 which cannot be captured and held.
