In Atlanta, Georgia it is illegal to tie your giraffe to a streetlamp. It is not illegal, though, to import a cushion made from a freshly shot giraffe’s head with the eyelashes still attached. https://lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v42/n22/katherine-rundell/consider-the-giraffe
@Anemone Actually the whole thing is fascinating.
You will be able to stump your friends with giraffe facts.
@estherschindler Yes, indeed. Those other facts...also disturbing. 😂
@estherschindler
I'd love to read the actual statute. A lot of these sites are just passing on information posted on other sites, without checking themselves. The actual law could be less specific --- something like you can't keep imported animals in confinement without a permit, or something. And yeah, it does prohibit tying up your giraffe on a public street in Atlanta, but it's not a clickbaity.
@estherschindler Disturbing. 🤔
