Did You Walk Your Dog Today?

In Rome, a new Law has been added that requires dog owners to walk there pet at least 3 times a day. Failure to do so will result in 500 euro fine, that is 598 American dollars! And a by-Law states that they, the owners, cannot dock their pets tails. Also in Rome, the very common round and spherical fish bowls have been banned by a new Law, I guess that the round glass bowls make the fish go blind. This is ridiculous I think, they just swim in circles anyway, and usually carnival fish just live for a couple days. This Law also bans other animals, as well as fish, from being given away at carnivals as prizes. I think that the "Dog Law" is a good idea, for the dogs sake. Too often are pets purchased then just left to grow old and unhealthy while living with their "masters." If you don't have the time to take your pet out you shouldn't be buying the pet in the first place, and I bet that you'd know before hand what you schedule was like.
