30+ State Laws So Absurd You Won’t Believe They Are Actually In Effect

Life is filled with absurdities, and it’s best exemplified by the scores of weirdest laws you probably never knew existed. For instance, in 1969, anyone who made the grave mistake of killing Bigfoot in Skamania County, Washington, faced up to five years in the slammer. Whether Sasquatch exists notwithstanding, the state later amended the law designating the mythical creature as an endangered species.

If you thought that was wild, try hunting in Virginia on Sunday, and you will find yourself facing the full extent of the law. While at it, don’t go mispronouncing Arkansas, and for anyone who needs a spelling refresher, it’s Ark-an-Saw.
