It is illegal to intentionally bite off another person's limb.

The Law

This oddly specific statute falls under the state's archaic 'mayhem' laws, which originally focused on permanently disabling someone in a fight. It specifically outlaws cutting out tongues, putting out eyes, or literally biting off limbs. It serves as a gentle statutory reminder to keep your teeth to yourself during a bar brawl. The law paints a rather terrifying picture of what colonial fistfights must have been like.
