California is a state that takes frog rights extremely seriously. According to state law, a person is allowed to have any number of live frogs for jumping contests. If one of them dies or gets killed, “it must be destroyed as soon as possible, and may not be eaten or otherwise used for any purpose”.
It’s most likely that this law came into effect for people’s health benefits. All the same, it’s strangely specific.

While this isn’t technically illegal, in Arkansas, there is a legislation “discouraging” incorrect pronunciation of its name. The provision specifically states that “pronunciation with the accent on the second syllable with the sound of “a” in “man” and the sounding of the terminal “s” is an innovation to be discouraged.”
