but killing rich people is illegal!
It's illegal to keep a sleeping donkey in a bathtub after 7 pm. in Arizona.
It's illegal to fall asleep in a cheese factory in South Dakota.
It's illegal to bring a kangaroo inside barber shops in Alaska.
someone has to have done that, right? what I wonder is how and when.
I suppose so. The only one I found explained was the donkey one.
A town was flooded in 1924 where they wasted a lot of time searching for a missing donkey. To avoid it happening again, they banned donkeys sleeping in bathtubs at night.
The cheese factory law is probably an interpretation of a more general law about not being allowed to sleep when working in food production.
The ban on kangaroos in barber shops also includes flamingos. I do not know the source of that, but Alaska does have a lot of strange laws about animals. Mostly moose.
B... but that's my emotional support kangaroo
