Stupid State Laws - Alaska

Here comes another post about a state law that still exists on the books and why it is ridiculous (to see them all, click here):

Alaska

"It is considered an offense to push a live moose out of a moving airplane."

First off, Alaska has a lot of weird laws concerning moose, like you can't feed them alcohol (kind of makes sense) and you can't "view" them from an airplane (are they scared of airplanes?), but this one takes the cake.  I feel like this sort of thing should fall under common sense, but apparently not.  So, that begs the question - how many times did this happen before the state had to take action and make a law about it?  And while it is considered an "offense" (what exactly does that mean?) to push a live moose from a moving airplane, is there not a law protecting the rights of dead moose?  Does this mean it is okay to throw deceased moose from moving airplanes?  I feel like that question is way more important than needing to know why it is an offense to toss live moose from airplanes onto the unsuspecting public.

"Alright, he's dead, now go start up the airplane, those Eskimos will never know what hit them!"
