20 Jaw-Droppingly Weird Laws That Still Exist In America
9. Illinois - It Is Unlawful To Give Lighted Cigars To Dogs
Law's Origin: ???
Risk of Prosecution: Public hate
This absurd regulation may have had best intentions, but it is way to specific to not be considered imbecilic. The law only applies to giving a domestic animal a lighted cigar. Why not have a law, which prevents the giving of tobacco products to animals period? Were there really that many people passing smoking cheroots to their pets for a drag?
Dang, all I wanted to do this weekend was grab some stogies, some scotch, and share both with my dachshund. In all honesty, this law should probably fall under the universally fallible rule of "Don't Be An Idiot."
Our Rating: Don't be an idiot... Oh wait, I said that already.
