Stupid State Laws - West Virginia 3

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):

Alderson, West Virginia

"One may not walk a lion, tiger, or leopard, even on a leash."

Chalk this one up to common sense, West Virginia.  Of course, you shouldn't walk a lion, tiger, or leopard in public especially without a leash.  However, I feel like it's not that big a deal if it is on a leash.  Then again, it is a large deadly cat and I doubt a leash will stop it from mauling someone.  The one thing about this law that really disappointed me was that it wasn't for lions, tigers, and bears.  Come on, have these hicks never seen the Wizard of Oz?  Apparently not and until they fix this oversight, this law is stupid to me even if it makes some sense.

"But Carl, he's so cute."
"I don't care, rookie, cuff the bastard.....and cuff the tiger, too.  We can't take any chances."
