I wish we had the back stories on more of these. Who was it who tied a giraffe to a telephone pole? What disaster ensued, such that "there oughtta be a law!"?

I would guess it's not giraffe's specifically, but anything besides a horse or any animal more massive than a dog in the actual law.

Most of these wacky laws are usually special cases rather than the verbatim text of the law. At least the ones I've looked into.
