The United States has some pretty
peculiar regulations when it comes to wildlife—real or imagined.
Mexican free-tailed bats sail
through the night sky in Texas. People in that state can kill the animals if
they're inside the house or on the roof.

Wild animals are pretty good at
defending themselves, but humans try to provide them with legal protections,
too.
The California-based Animal Legal Defense Fund works
to prevent animal abuse and strengthen anti-cruelty laws, but they also have a
lighter side, regularly releasing their Top Ten
Weirdest Animal Laws on the Books.
The U.S. laws show all the
many ways we relate to animals, as pets, property, food, co-workers, friends,
and more, says David
Rosengard, the fund's staff attorney.
For instance, in Juneau,
Alaska, you can't
take a dog with you into a beauty salon or barbershop; if
you're going hunting in West Virginia, don't be
tempted to take along your ferret for help.
