There's also nothing that requires them to. 4549.17 was ruled illegal in 1999 yet it's still on the books. The simple notion of "it won't be enforced" anymore is somehow good enough. That's unfortunatley what drives me nuts with, how the heck do I know what is legal or not?
Is it still illegal to fish for whales in Lake Erie? I don't know, I know the ordinance existed once but can't find it now. So can I fish them or not?
I am not a lawyer. My answers are based on research, knowledge, and are generally backed up with facts, the Ohio Revised Code, or the United States Code.

Heck, it was updated in 2011 (HB 153). What's the court case that said it was illegal?

You cannot fish for whales anywhere, they are mammals. And I have heard that they taste just like dolphin

You have to go whaling if you want to catch whales.
