Mally Mall and Swae Lee can always visit the L.A. Zoo if they want to see jungle cats and monkeys … because there’s little to no chance they’re getting their exotic pets back.
Law enforcement sources tell TMZ … after Mally’s Serval cat and Swae’s spider monkey were seized in Wednesday’s SWAT raids, the animals were immediately taken to special facilities. We’re told Mally and Swae will ONLY get the animals back if they had legal reasons to possess them — such as owning a zoo or an animal educational facility — and that’s just not the case here.
Even if Mally and Swae had a legit reason for housing the Serval cat and spider monkey, we’re told they would still need to apply for permits to get the animals back, but those applications would be blocked because of their history.
Mally’s had tons of issues with exotic animals in the past … the Health Dept. launched an investigation when he brought a capuchin monkey to the Ace of Diamonds strip club, and he once gifted Justin Bieber a monkey and an ocelot.
We broke the story … 40 SWAT team members, armed to the teeth, raided Mally’s home Wednesday morning, executing search warrants for exotic animal possession and human trafficking. Swae’s home was also raided.
As it stands, we’re told the Serval cat and spider monkey seized in the raids are being housed in facilities that are permitted to possess each type of animal, with the capability of providing proper care and adequate caging.
Maybe just a house cat next time?!?
