In the video, Mari reads off a series of strange Ohio laws and reacts to them. One of the laws, for example, reveals that it’s illegal to parade a duck down Ohio Avenue in the Village of McDonald.
Another law reveals that in Columbus, it is illegal for stores to sell Corn Flakes on Sunday.
One law, in particular, stood out to commenters. Mari states that anyone that owns a pet tiger must notify the authorities within an hour if it gets loose.

According to commenters, this law is likely a response to an incident that occurred in 2011 in Zanesville. A man who owned several exotic pets, including tigers and bears, let the animals loose before committing suicide. This resulted in authorities ordering a shoot-to-kill hunt.
Other laws mentioned in the video state that it’s illegal to get a fish drunk or to kill a fly within 160 feet of a church without a license.
