The Law
This bizarre South Bend ordinance reportedly stems from a 1920s incident where a pet chimpanzee was put on trial for smoking a cigar. In an era where performing animals were common street entertainment, the city decided to put a stop to nicotine-addicted primates. You will have to find healthier habits for your exotic pets.
