I have a budget of around 50k, 20 acres of land and a running creek that cuts through the middle of the property. I'm also in an area with basically no laws about what kinds of animals you can and can't own except for birds weirdly.

What kind of exotic pet can I own ethically?

Edit: Thank you all for your amazing advice and suggestions! I've decided to put this on the back burner for a while and consider getting into animal rehab after my schooling is done.
