Alaska just needs to leave its mammals with anger issues alone. Just because they look big and fluffy does not mean people should: A, throw moose out of planes or helicopters; B, give them alcohol; or C, wake them up for the perfect photo opportunity. Liner Laws, a small law firm wrote, “City officials in Fairbanks, Alaska, have made it illegal to give alcoholic drinks to a moose.” The law passed because a local tavern owner kept giving his pet moose alcohol. This resulted in the moose having “drunken rampages.” 

Tourists are not very bright in the head and tend to lack survival skills when traveling. Due to this fact, Alaska had to pass a law to prevent people from waking sleeping bears to take pictures. How many people thought it was a good idea to wake a sleeping bear that they had to pass this law?

Idaho is terrifying. They are the only state in all of America that goes in-depth on its law about cannibalism. Overall, it is illegal-- unless it is a life or death situation and the other person consents. Idaho, also known as the home of all things potato, has laws involving brown dirt-loving vegetables. According to Listen Boise, a radio station in Boise Idaho, “selling an ‘Idaho Deluxe’ potato with rot, blemishes, or sun damage can get you sent to jail for up to six months.” Idaho has a reputation to uphold– and selling substandard “Idaho Deluxe'' is just dirtying that name.

Laws in Oregon are mostly pretty mild and not very shocking. However, in Yamhill, practicing the “occult arts” is banned. Yamhill Municipal code 5.08.110 defines occult arts as “the use or practice of fortune telling, astrology, phrenology, palmistry, clairvoyance, mesmerism, spiritualism, or any other practice or practices generally recognized to be unsound and unscientific.” The fact that this is unconstitutional and still exists truly makes people wonder if people in Yamhill are okay and need therapists-- oh wait, analyzing people is also illegal.

Washington, if they could, they would make Bigfoot their state animal; instead, it is some groundhog knockoff (Olympic Marmot) that can only be found in Washington. According to The Law Dictionary, a dictionary that provides law terminology for free, “killing Bigfoot was a felony at one point and punishable by five years in prison.” Later, the law was amended. Now, in Washington, Bigfoot is considered an endangered species. This makes the mystical Bigfoot protected under Washington’s wildlife laws and, thus, killing or trapping the hairy-giant-man-like ape is illegal– which is rightfully deserved, as he is the best hide-and-seek master of all time.
