Avid bird watchers may object to some of Michigan's dumb laws, while entrepreneurs looking for an untapped market to make some money will love the dumb laws that involve birds. There is bounty money on certain birds' heads. Every starling killed will fetch 3 cents, while every crow killed
will fetch a hefty 10 cents.
Any person over the age of 12 may obtain a handgun license, if they have not been convicted of a felony. Could be a lot of teens in Michigan using birds for target practice, so entrepreneurs need to get in on the bird action quick.
Another dumb Michigan law involves birds as well. You can be sure if you purchase a parakeet in Michigan, that it is a genuine parakeet, not a sparrow painted to look like a parakeet. Bird painting is illegal.
Michigan would be a good place for animal lovers to live. There is a dumb law that makes it legal to sleep with your pigs, cows, horses, goats and chickens. Dogs did not make the list of animals that can be slept with, but they do rank their own dumb law. It is illegal to kill a dog using a decompression chamber. Pigs can run free in Detroit if the pig has a ring in it's nose. You can keep your cow on the main street of downtown Wayland, Michigan if you are willing to pay 3 cents a day.
Smoking in bed is illegal. I wonder if that law was enacted on behalf of the animals that people are sleeping with?
Women can cut their own hair, if they get their husband's permission to do so first. Men are not permitted to scowl at their wives on Sunday, so a wife probably should cut her own hair on Sunday, and if hubby does not like it, he can't scowl at her. You can not buy a car on Sunday in Michigan, since it is illegal to sell them on Sunday.
If you own a home in Michigan and a robber breaks into your home, injuring himself in the break in process, the robber can not sue the home owner. The fact that that law made the dumb law list, makes it dumb.
If you want to go for a swim in Rochester, Michigan, be advised that the head of police must inspect your bathing suit prior to your swim.
Dumb laws, you gotta love them. Michigan may see an influx of new residents and their animals once this article is published.
