Bizarre Real Life Animal Laws / laws our taxes are spent to create

Cats in International Falls, Minnesota, are not allowed to chase dogs up
telephone poles.

If your dog gets your neighbor's dog pregnant in Danbury, Connecticut, you
are responsible and must pay for the abortion if the neighbor chooses to
have it done.

No dog may be tied to a shade tree in Birmingham, Alabama.

An ordinance in Belvedere, California, states "No dog shall be in a public
place without its master on a leash."

Another miss worded ordinance is this one from Arvada, Colorado: "If a stray
pet is not claimed within 24 hours, the owner will be destroyed."

Fights between cats and dogs are prohibited by statute in Barber, North
Carolina.

In Sterling, Colorado, it is unlawful to allow a pet cat to run loose
without a taillight.

In Ventura County, California, cats and dogs are not allowed to have sex
without a permit.

Cats living in Cresskill, New Jersey, must wear three bells to warn birds of
their whereabouts.

A Fountain Inn, South Carolina, law once required horses to wear pants at
all times. But carriage horses in Charleston, South Carolina, were required
to wear diapers.

In Calgary, Canada, a by-law requires businesses within the city to provide
rails for tying up horses.

In Winona, MS, it is illegal to drive a car on Main Street because it
frightens horses.
