That's Against the Law
In almost every country in the world there are some strange or even
ridiculous laws. 3- In Russia in the eighteenth century, it was against the law for any man to wear a beard unless he paid a special tax. 4- In 1949, in Illinois, USA, bird lovers tried to pass a law to keep cats on a leach in public. However the governor refused to pass the law. He said the problem of cats against birds was as old as time itself. If we favor birds, then we would have to decide between dogs and cats or even birds and worms. 5 - In New York City dog owners who walk their dogs in public are required by law to clean up after their pet. Before the law was passed in 1978, over forty million pounds of dog waste were left on the city's streets each year. 6 - It's against the law to drive an automobile, or any other motor vehicle except tractors, on the island of Sark in the English Channel. Most of the people there use bicycles for transportation. 7 - In Venice, Italy, many people travel through the canals on gondolas. The law requires gondolas to be painted in black, except those belonging to high government officials. |
