Odd Postal Rules Permit Unusual Livestock in Mail
A 40 year old postal code lists unusual mail livestock allowed for shipment including horned toads and worms. The text notes planaria worms and various aquatic creatures like newts hydras hellgrammites leeches and tadpoles as mailable items under specific regulations. It also cites citations and court notices from Grayson County Texas dated 1949 involving property taxes and delinquent liens.
