As everyone probably knows, I love animals, and in my free time, I'm often looking up and reading about animal-related things. So, as you can imagine, I sometimes find really strange articles and topics, and this week definitley did not disappoint. In my opinion, I found, and have decided to write about, one of the weirdest topics that I have ever come across.

Ergo, I present to you 13 bizarre animal laws.

1. You're not allowed to take your pet to the opera in Illinois.

Unfortunately, no matter how much you want to dress up with your pet and bring them to the opera house to listen to some classic songs, you can't.

2. In Little Rock, Arkansas, dogs are banned from barking after 6:00 pm.

Apparently dogs aren't allowed to bark in the evening, but I'm not entirely sure how this law is enforced... Do the police there patrol in front of houses, waiting to catch the dogs in the act? Do pet owners receive tickets if their dogs bark after 6:00? Has anyone ever gone to jail because their dog barked? I have so many questions, Little Rock.

3. An Ohio law forbids you from getting your pet fish drunk.

I know how much we all like to party with our swimming friends, but remember, if you ever choose to party in Ohio, make sure the get-together is alcohol-free.

4. In China, they adopted a one pet per household policy, and that pet had to be under 14 inches tall.

14 inches isn't that tall, so unfortunately, the Chinese cannot own some of our favorite dog breeds, such as Golden Retrievers and Labradors.

5. In Alaska, it is illegal to push a moose out of an airplane mid-flight.

Now, I don't know who pushed a moose out a plane in Alaska, or even why a moose was on a plane, but I'd say this law is pretty bizarre. But, in case that a moose on one of your future flights is being super annoying, maybe tell the stewardess instead of pushing him out the emergency door.

6. You cannot fish from the back of a camel in Idaho.

In case you're ever in a situation where there is a camel next to a lake in Idaho, don't take the opporunity to ride him or her and fish at the same time.

7. In Iowa, cowboys must restrain their horses from eating fire hydrants.

First of all, I wasn't aware that there are a lot of cowboys in Iowa. Nevertheless, just know that they aren't allowed to let their trusty steeds eat the fire hydrants... What a big relief right?

8. You cannot bring your lion to the movies in Maryland.

Somebody somewhere tried to take their pet lion to the cinema, and ruined it for everybody else... Now who am I going to go to movies with?

9. Gorillas can only ride shotgun in Massachussetts.

Unfortunately, if you are sharing the car with a gorilla, you can only ride in the back of the vehicle. They are just that cool.

10. In the state of Oklahoma, dogs must have a permit to gather in groups of three or more.

It's a sad day when three dog friends aren't allowed to hang out together.

11. Ohio police officers can bite their canines on the job to "quiet" them.

I'm not sure if biting a dog actually quiets them... But hey, if it works Ohio, you do you.

12. You cannot drive a camel on a public Nevadan highway.

I hope nobody's road trip plans were just ruined by this law.

13. In West Virginia, road kill can be taken home and eaten.

No comment.
