Despite being completely landlocked, Oklahoma has a law prohibiting the hunting, capturing, or killing of whales. This likely originated from adopting a massive bundle of federal or standard state conservation laws without filtering out the marine ones. You never know when a rogue beluga might wander into the Arkansas River.
