There is no such animal as an “illegal animal”.

The law differentiates between *wild* animals and *domesticated* animals.

When you are ready to compare apples to apples—domesticated animals to domesticated animals, let me know.

But at present, it seems the best attempt you can make is to make a fallacious argument.

There is no such animal as an “illegal animal”.

The law differentiates between *wild* animals and *domesticated* animals.

That's like saying there is no such thing as an illegal alien.

When I say "illegal animal", it is a shorthand for an animal that is has restrictions on ownership, such as breeding, selling, owning, gifting, etc. There is nothing inherit in a non-wild animal breed/type deemed to be dangerous that wouldn't make it subject to restrictions. Even completely domestic dogs cannot roam free, yet domestic cats in most jurisdictions can. Raccoons are wild, but are often allowed to be kept as pets. The wild/domestic distinction is one. Dangerous/non-dangerous is another. I see no principle that would elevate the rights to keep or breed an American Pit Bull Terrier over a contained raccoon.
