Woman fined for taking turtle for a walk

[Still Waters]

 An Italian woman who took her pizza-sized turtle out for a walk has been fined €400 (S$620) by the Roman police for breaking strict coronavirus confinement rules.

Italians need a justifiable reason to be out on the street in the middle of a pandemic that has officially claimed more than 20,000 lives in the Mediterranean country since February.

Taking your dog out for a walk is viewed as a good enough reason to leave your home.

But it seems taking your turtle out, for one thing, is not.

A few weeks back there was a YT video of some Italian mayors raising hell about people walking their dogs, multiple times a day.  One even insulted their dogs saying they had inflamed prostates

As long as you are 2 meters away.

Actually, to be on the safe side, make it 10 meters.
