Drunk Moose Law On Freaky Friday...!

We all are aware that there are some fairly strange laws on the books around the country, but some of them are really over the top, in my opinion. Take this crazy law in Fairbanks, Alaska.

It Is Illegal For A Moose To Enter A Saloon Via The Sidewalk

Fairbanks, Alaska

It is illegal for a moose to enter a bar through the sidewalk in Fairbanks, Alaska. The law was passed during the early 20th century because a tavern owner was fond of getting his pet moose drunk. The intoxicated moose often went on rampages, destroying property.

City officials soon had enough and passed a law banning moose from public sidewalks, thus meaning that the moose in question could no longer get into the man’s saloon. The tavern owner stopped bringing his moose to his bar but still got it drunk in his home. It is unknown why the town couldn’t simply outlaw getting moose drunk.

I reckon that even a moose needs a stiff drink once in a while, right?
