In Montana, you can’t have a pet rat.
In Billings, Montana, it is against the law to own, raise, or sell rats unless the purpose of doing so is to feed birds of prey or reptiles. Though it’s technically illegal to own a pet rat, a police officer would have to be in your home and see your furry friend in order to actually enforce it.

Some of these laws apply to a lot of states. The one you missed is that its illegal to carry wire cutters in Texas. REASON: so that you can not cut any wire fences to free cattle or trespass.
In Illinois it is illegal for pigeons to fly over the 7th district (the downtown loop.)
How do pegions know where that is? Duh…..
Pigeons in Chicago are very smart.
