The American laws are the wackiest in the world. Fox News reveals some of the laws that still remain in the books across the country:

According to a law in Billings, Mont, it is considered illegal to sell, harbor or give away rats as pets or toys for any purpose other than to feed snakes or birds of prey. Scientists, however, can keep lab rats.

A law in Michigan considers it legal to kill a dog for attacking chickens, livestock or people, but you can't snuff the pooch in a high altitude decompression chamber or by electrocution.

A law in Kentucky makes it illegal to sell, exchange, offer to sell or exchange, display, or possess living baby chicks, ducklings, or other fowl or rabbits that have been dyed or coloured. Not just that but coloring or dyeing of baby chicks is illegal and they cannot be sold unless they are two months old, which should only be done in batches of six.

The Massachusetts shooting ranges make it illegal to shoot at targets depicting a human whether as a figure, effigy or a silhouette, exceptions being public safety officer performing official duties.

Albama declares it against the law to exploit a bear by promoting, engaging in or being employed at a bear wrestling match, or by subjecting a bear to surgical alteration of any kind, including, declawing, tooth removal and severing tendons.
