Oh the Irony.....

[Draco D Tegu]

In PA you can have venomous reptiles........

but not.......

a sugar glider

quaker parrot


or a Hedgehog.......


Anything ya'll find ironic about animal laws in your state?

 

[Guest]

My state thinks it needs Grizzly Bears and wolves ...

But if that isn`t bad enough North Carolina thinks it is illegal to have ANY turtle or tortoise ..

Its the same in Canada I guess also ..

 

[chelvis]

California... need i say more. Can not have venomas animals, cant have hedges, sugar glinders, ferrets, garbils, gators, crocs, wallbies.... you know what its simpler to say what you can have. Dog, Cat, g-pigs, rabbits, mice, rats, reptiles not listed above, that sums it up.

That's it....I'm moving to Nevada.

Here are some more stupid laws in my Oh So Humble State.

It is contrary to Pennsylvania law to discharge a gun, cannon, revolver or other explosive weapon at a wedding. (worried about the Hatfield and McCoys??)

It is illegal to have over 16 women live in a house together because that constitutes a brothel.
(Ohhhhh so THAT's why we can't have sororities)

It it illegal to sleep on top of a refrigerator outdoors.
(Darn, guess I'll have to buy a hammock now)

Any motorist driving along a country road at night must stop every mile and send up a rocket signal, wait 10 minutes for the road to be cleared of livestock, and continue. (Ummmm....yeaaaah)

A special cleaning ordinance bans housewives from hiding dirt and dust under a rug in a dwelling. (Well um...you see your honor...I was busy and....well that rug was there....)

You may not sing in the bathtub. (Is that why I couldn't find a shower radio in the 80's?).

A person is not eligible to become Governor if he/she has participated in a duel. ( I just don't know WHAT to say to this one)

Any motorist who sights a team of horses coming toward him must pull well off the road, cover his car with a blanket or canvas that blends with the countryside, and let the horses pass. (Say What??? Where do you get a blanket or a canvas big enough to cover a car?)

Ministers are forbidden from performing marriages when either the bride or groom is drunk. (I know a minister who broke this one)

You may not catch a fish by any body part except the mouth. (Um....do I LOOK like a bear?)

And the list goes on......

We can have all these animals but it's illegal to drive a camel on the highway.

I LOVE this one;

It's still "legal" to hang someone for shooting your dog on your property. :mrgreen:
