    In Winnipeg you still legally have to have a post to tie up your horse in front of your home. (It's just one of those things no one has taken the time to change.)

      In Canada, an Indian (native canadian) was once convicted of shooting birds out of hunting season. He shot a horse.












      A bird was defined as having two legs, the horse had that, four even, and as having feathers. The horse was not saddled but had a cloth/carpoet (what's it called) made of feathers on its back. Clearly, this horse met the definition of being a bird.

      The horse had broken a leg and had to be put out of its misery, which was what the Indian did. Although the court was sympathetic to his motives, it did not allow him to shoot a bird out of hunting season.

          You may not spay your female dog or cat. However, you may neuter the males of the species.

          Licenses must be bought in order to own television sets, and even VCRs.

            Same law in Denmark. They have people that drive around and can tell if you are using radio or TV in the house. If they find you are and you have not paid your tax they fine you and then you have to pay the tax.

                    I suppose it's a pretty common law in Europe.
                    It's a so called "luxury tax". In Italy it's applied to TVs, private transport systems (cars, motorbikes, etc...), boats, UHFs, and so on.

                        Actualy, lump sum taxes hurt the economy the least from an efficieny point of view. We abolished it in the Netherlands a few years ago. I'd much prefer to have that tax re-imposed and have commerce banished from out state-sponsored media (3 TV statios, whereas we have another 6 commercial ones). I truly hate commercials being broadcast aimed at my kids.

                        I remember the good old days when we only had two stations and commercials were broadcast only before and after the 20.00, 21.30 and late news, and not on sundays....

                          In Providence, Rhode Island, it is against the law to jump off a bridge.
                          Reminds me of:
                          "We're sorry.
                          We hate to interupt,
                          But it's against the Law to jump off this bridge.
                          You'll just have to kill yourelf somewhere else
                          A tourist might see you and we wouldn't want that"

                              But this gets better.. it is a yearly fee in Denmark.. about 5 DKK Slightly less than a US dollar a day!. If you buy a tv, you are automatically signed up for their licence and billed. Same for radios
