Community groups and animal rights advocates have complained about people selling encounters with exotic animals in Washington Square Park and Coney Island’s boardwalk.
The NYPD declined to identify the people ticketed for owning the animals.
“If 30 guys show up with a snake, it's not so much interesting as it is noxious or possibly dangerous,” said Daniel Murphy, executive director of Alliance for Coney Island. “It's not like they're spread out over a mile, they're all within about the same city block along the boardwalk.” About one hour east of New York City lies Sloth Encounters in Hauppauge, where owner Larry Wallach told Gothamist he sells wallabies ranging anywhere from $1,500 to $3,000.
