Bizarre animal laws?

Cats in International Falls, Minnesota, are not allowed to chase dogs up telephone poles. If your dog gets your neighbor's dog pregnant in Danbury, Connecticut, you are responsible and must pay for the abortion if the neighbor chooses to have it done. No dog may be tied to a shade tree in Birmingham, Alabama. An ordinance in Belvedere, California, states "No dog shall be in a public place without its master on a leash." Another misworded ordinance is this one from Arvada, Colorado: "If a stray pet is not claimed within 24 hours, the owner will be destroyed." Fights between cats and dogs are prohibited by statute in Barber, North Carolina. In Sterling, Colorado, it is unlawful to allow a pet cat to run loose without a taillight. In Ventura County, California, cats and dogs are not allowed to have sex without a permit. Cats living in Cresskill, New Jersey, must wear three bells to warn birds of their whereabouts. A Fountain Inn, South Carolina, law once required horses to wear pants at all times. But carriage horses in Charleston, South Carolina, were required to wear diapers. In Calgary, Canada, a by-law requires businesses within the city to provide rails for tying up horses. In Winona, MS, it is illegal to drive a car on Main Street because it frightens horses. In Wilbur, Washington, it is against the law for a person to "ride an ugly horse" - the fine is $300! If you live in California, you cannot keep your chickens, turkeys, goats, cows, and other farm animals in an apartment. In Cumberland, Maryland, you cannot keep your chickens with you in your hotel room. In Minnesota, it's illegal to tease skunks. In Atlanta, it's against the law to tie a giraffe to a telephone pole or a street lamp. Riding a camel on a highway in Nevada is against the law. Over in Galveston, Texas, it is against the law for camels to wander the streets unattended. In Arizona, it is illegal to shoot or hunt camels. It's illegal to take a deer swimming in water above its knees in North Carolina apologies folks, it wasnt meant for this cat

1. I love the Wilbur law. Nowt queer as folks.
2. Atchison, Kansas - if you are driving a motor car into the city limits, you must call the sherrif's office so that they can make sure everyones horse is tied up. True story- this law was used to catch a bank robber who was fleeing police back in the 1950's. Atchison police had been notified that the car was coming it's way. When he came through town he was pulled over and arrested. He was then held until the other authorities could come over and claim him!
