The Law

As exotic pet ownership grew in the mid-20th century, some residents thought it would be fun to parade their large, aggressive birds around town. The city swiftly prohibited ostriches, emus, and other massive flightless birds from public streets. They are known for their lethal kicks, making them terrible neighborhood walking companions.
