The Law Explained

While parks are meant for recreation, local officials decided they needed to draw the line at pelting small rodents with rocks. This law was likely introduced after children or rowdy teenagers made a sport out of harassing the local squirrel population. It remains on the books as an early, highly specific piece of animal cruelty legislation.
