I looked it up in case anyone else was curious, and the law was supposedly related to people doing this to lure horses away.

    I love laws like this, and this kind of stuff always gives me a neat perspective on the codification of rules for society. Most of the time people are capable of interacting perfectly fine without being told how to. Sure we’ll obviously make murder, theft, and rape illegal. But then you get these weird edge cases where someone keeps trying to lure horses away with ice cream cones to the point you finally have to go “well if he’s gonna be a weirdo and keep doing it I guess we have to make a law about it.”
