Stupid State Laws - Indiana

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):

Indiana

"A person who dyes, stains, or otherwise alters the natural coloring of a bird or rabbit commits a Class B misdemeanor."

Holy crap, what?!?  First off, I looked up what a Class B Misdemeanor is and basically it is a Class A Misdemeanor, but the fine and jail time is not as bad.  With that out of the way, WHAT?!?  How rampant of a bird/rabbit dyeing epidemic was going on in Indiana that they had to make people face a fine and jail time over it?  Do people in Indiana love them some Easter so much that they started dyeing every helpless bunny in the state and the government was forced to do something about it?  More important, why in the hell would someone even want to dye a bird or a rabbit?  How is there any sort of gain from doing such a heinous act?  So confusing.  So funny.

"Oh.  My.  God.  What have you done?  This is beyond horrible and I am going to make a law to stop such an act!  What?  Well yes, they do look cute.  But that's not the point, you are going to jail, kid."
