Dogs and cats are legal in California, yet destroy wildlife. Ferrets are illegal there and are incapable of producing feral populations.

So only animals that have had disastrous results on the enviornment are legal. What the heck?

Eh In Ireland there is a "Blasphemy law"

In Ireland, blasphemy is prohibited by the constitution and carries a maximum fine of €25,000. A controversial law was brought into law on 9 July 2009 making blasphemous libel a crime for material "that is grossly abusive or insulting in relation to matters held sacred by any religion, thereby causing outrage among a substantial number of the adherents of that religion; and he or she intends, by the publication of the matter concerned, to cause such outrage".

Basically we are all brought up to believe that Jesus/god is the one true god.
But if we outspokenly offend someone,it's a mother****ing €25000 fine!
Even though our country is predominantly Catholic.

In Nebraska, it is illegal to hunt whales.

If I remember correctly there is a law in some city in Illinois or Iowa, that states "bees are legally not allowed on the street"... wtf?

Also I think in California, it is illegal to harpoon a whale from the balcony of a third floor.

 

[AlexoftheAura]

In, I believe Ohio, it is illegal to fish for whale on Sundays.

 

[QUIVO]

Probably because there is a secret sauce called Arken Sauce.

I heard of that porcupine law too on the internet. I literally almost fell out of my seat.

Seriously why does America(and other parts of the world) come up with the most stupidest laws.... well I can get why omnis law is there.... I guess its disrespectfull to take a religious book into a bathroom where you get naked and well...... anyways seriously fish while on a giraffes neck? That has to be the most stupidest law ever. I dont even know if you can find a giraffe in the streets of illinios..... well if you see melman there I guess you would know why but still.....

In texas there are these funny ones:

A recently passed anticrime law requires criminals to give their victims 24 hours notice, either orally or in writing, and to explain the nature of the crime to be committed.


------------------------

The entire Encyclopedia Britannica is banned in Texas because it contains a formula for making beer at home.

-----------------------------

When two trains meet each other at a railroad crossing, each shall come to a full stop, and neither shall proceed until the other has gone.

-----------------------------

There are more but they are sort of mature. XD don't want to be infracted!!

 

[Crazy_mofo213]

I like to think that they come up with some laws for ****s and giggles.

 

[Fuelbi]

But seriously? Ill have to remember to ask my law studies teacher on monday why states make such stupid laws. Cant harpoon a while on a balcony of the third floor. Do they realize how illogical and unlikely that would be? And even if a whale did come I think Id kill it from up close
