Whether it's being pulled over by the cops or unknowingly trespassing, most people have had a run in with a law or rule they found arbitrary or just plain stupid. However, the United States, with its varied and staggered rules and laws still possessed in some areas, laws that some would consider to be incredibly bizarre. Over time as the meanings and values of the country changed, many of these laws have fallen by the wayside due to their impracticalities; however, in a constantly changing political environment, they may become problematic in the future. Business Insider takes a closer look at some of these truly strange practices.

West Virginia doesn’t want you killing birds with drones.

Apparently, at some point in West Virginia’s long history, the usage of ferrets to hunt wild game was a problem. Frankly I’m not sure what people were hunting with an animal the size of a sock or why legal intervention was needed to stem the tide of adorable weasels chasing down rabbits.

In the same vein, West Virginia also firmly disallows for hunting to be conducted from an airplane or drone. Again I am at no point certain of the huge numbers of hunters apparently calling in airstrikes against woodland creatures.

Rhode Island discourages biting people.

The state of Rhode Island has a law stating that if one is to channel their inner Mike Tyson and bite a person’s limb off, they may face no less than one year in prison with a maximum of 20. This of course only applies if the aforementioned biting occurred on purpose. Accidentally chomping off someone's ear is completely acceptable.

Pennsylvania reminds residents that selling babies is wrong.

Laws are generally made in response to events or practices. Evidently at some point, Pennsylvania residents were selling babies. The statute states “dealing” of infants which invokes the image of shady back alley deals involving stacks of babies. This law in particular makes me question if people thought the law implied they could get away with it elsewhere. Interestingly, the selling and trading of children only results in a misdemeanor.

Georgia steps up in response to llama injuries.

In Georgia, the handlers of llamas are immune to any injuries sustained during performances or fairs caused by other people. So essentially if you are riding a llama and somehow manage to hurt yourself, you are responsible. It generally seems like a fair rule for a bizarre application. Spectators who are injured are capable of taking legal action however, which also raises the question of what is a llama doing to injure bystanders.

Florida seeks to stop the tossing of midgets.

Short statured people living in Florida were freed from the apparent malady that had infected their lives of being mercilessly tossed around in bars. Florida took a bold stance by outlawing midget tossing contests in establishments that served alcohol. Instead of darts or horseshoes Florida chose to throw small people, copying an Australian activity which again raises more questions than it answers.
