In the city of Fairbanks, it is illegal to give alcohol to a moose.

It is legal to shoot a bear with a gun in Alaska. Another strange Alaska law is that is illegal to wake a bear, however, for the purpose of taking its picture.

According to another strange Alaska law, emergencies must be held to a minimum. They are to exist rarely. The law does not specify how one can control emergencies.
