Legal Gray Areas You Can’t Ignore
Three bizarre laws impacting puppet owners:
Arkansas bans public puppet displays “resembling minors” Nevada requires puppet sterilization certificates for brothel use EU’s Article 19.7a classifies certain puppets as “performance art tools”In 2022, a Florida man faced obscenity charges after neighbors spotted his puppet through Zoom windows.
