Dumb laws

[gemurray]

One of my coworkers pointed out this site that lists dumb laws from different states and cities (http://www.dumblaws.com/).

Here are a few dog related ones just from California:

State of California:

Animals are banned from mating publicly within 1,500 feet of a tavern, school, or place of worship.

Belvedere:

City Council order reads: “No dog shall be in a public place without its master on a leash.

Cathedral City:

One may not bring their dog to school. (We actually did this here in our town where it's not against the law - my daughters class was studying Africa, and the teacher thought it would be cool to bring in a real African breed of dog and talk about how they had adapted to their environment!)

Glendale:

One may not take his dog on an elevator with him.

Los Angeles: (less strict than the rest of the state??)

It is a crime for dogs to mate within 500 yards of a church.

Portola:

One may not allow his or her dog to chase a squirrel in the summer.

San Jose:

It is illegal to have more than two cats or dogs.

Shasta Lake:

One may not raffle off a dog as a gift in any public place.

While those are dumb, the worst is the laws they are trying to pass in so many states with Spay/neuter and breeding restrictions that will put a stop to all hobby breeders trying to improve the breed and raise healthy, happy, well adjusted puppies…

So, I guess the winter months are okay for squirrel chasing then?

Although, I like the one about not raffling them off…...

No, we probably SHOULD report her because she IS my sister

Here's a stupid one from my homestate (Minnesota):
The land of 10,000 lakes declares mosquitos a public nuisance.

[gemurray]

But I thought that the mosquito was the state bird! How can they dare declare the state bird a nuisance!
