The Crazy Rants of Samantha BurnsGoldfish Bowl Ban
I retrieved this article at Speed of Thought and Boots And Sabers.
The weirdos scored another one in Rome this week as goldfish bowls were banned due to animal rights protesting.
It was stated in the article that
"round bowls caused fish to go blind. No one at Rome council was available to confirm this was why they were banned. Many fish experts say round bowls provide insufficient oxygen for fish...."
Okay, ya right, as if goldfish live long enough to go blind in the first place. Furthermore, cats could barely get their paws in those bowls, but now that goldfish have to live in tanks, they'll be more open to kitty attacks.
When are those freaks going to give up, already. I can't believe such a stupid issue caused a law to be put in place. And, what's with the government? Get a backbone already. Even Canada's liberal government wouldn't give in to such imbecilic whining (at least, I hope they wouldn't).
But, hey, if Rome is willing to settle with such moronic protesting, then I have to agree with Rachel from Holstein Grove:
"maybe all the PETA folk should move to Italy and leave North America to the normals".
Sorry Rome, we're sacrificing you so that the rest of us can live happily again. Want our moonbats too?

how exactly does one give a fish a vision test?

Heya Sam
If you're moving into the European theatre, how about an International Moron of the Week, next week, so that your BritFans stand a chance of guessing the silhouette?
(And don't refer me back to one Boy George - anyone who emigrates that far away is no longer a Brit, imho).

Hi Sam,
Thanks again for quoting me.
This story really is nuts! I especially liked this part:
"It also provides legal recognition for cat lovers who provide food for the colonies of strays which live everywhere from the city's ancient Roman ruins to modern office car parks."
Come on! In America it's called hoarding, and you get fined. Give it a little more time and the Coliseum will be officially designated as the world's largest litter box!

LOL MM Yes how? Maybe it would even be kinder if they were blind, then they wouldn't know their world was so small.
And LOL @ Rachel. World's largest litter box.

The blogosphere makes us all little gold fish, living in a fishbowl.
How I wish for the big pond.

hello sam, people like you are the reason the goldfish bowl ban has been brought into place. To protect defensless animals from the ignorance of, im guessing your american, but any morons really. Many thanks, Catnap.

Wow Catnap. How insightful. Care to explain? BTW, if you actually read the blog or looked at the top of the blog or read the FAQ you might have noticed she is Canadian. I guess that maple leaf could be mistaken for an American flag I suppose.
