SALEM, OR -- A measure to ban private possession of certain exotic animals as pets has won the Oregon Senate's approval.

Sponsors said the recent mauling of a Connecticut woman by a chimpanzee underscores the need for such a ban. They say wild animals belong in the wild, not in people's homes.

The measure would prohibit private possession of wild animals, including alligators, crocodiles, monkeys, lions, tigers and bears. People who currently have those animals would be able to keep the ones they have, but the animals couldn't be bred.

The measure goes to the House
