Animals Indiana

It is illegal to dye a baby rabbit or chick.

Status: Still Enforced / On the Books

The Law Explained

To curb the impulse buying of 'Easter pets', Indiana law prohibits the dyeing, staining, or artificial coloring of baby rabbits, chicks, and ducklings. The law also forbids selling them in quantities of less than six. This prevents these animals from being treated as colorful, disposable holiday novelties.
