The city of Rome has passed a new law to prevent cruelty to animals. All goldfish bowls are no longer allowed and dog owners must walk their dogs.
This comes after a national law was passed to give prison sentences to people who desert cats or dogs.
“The civilization of a city can be measured by this,” said Monica Cirinna, the councilor （议员） behind the new law.
“It’s good to do whatever we can for our animals who in exchange for a little love fill our existence with their attention,” she told a Rome newspaper.
The newspaper reported that round bowls don’t give enough oxygen for fish and may make them go blind.
“Rome has tried to protect fish more than anywhere else in the world .It stands out for recognizing that fish are interesting animals who deserve（值得）over respect and compassion every bit as much as dogs and cats and other animals,” said Karin Robertson, a director of the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals.
Last year a law was passed in Italy that gives people who desert pets big fines （罚款）and prison sentences. Since then local governments have added their own animal protection rules.
The northern city of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of up to ＄598 if they do not walk their dogs three times a day.
The new law in Rome also says that owners mustn’t leave their dogs in hot cars or cut their dogs’ tails to make them look lovelies. The law also gives legal recognition to the “cat ladies” who feed homeless cats. The cats live all over the city from ancient ruins to modern office car parks.

（供商榷）

罗马市通过了一项新的法律以防止对动物的虐待。各种金鱼盆不得再使用，狗的主人须溜狗。
这是继对遗弃猫狗者将收监的国家法律之后的又一条法律。
“城市的文明可以用这条法律来衡量”, 莫尼卡.斯琳纳说道，莫尼卡.斯琳纳是支持这项新法律的议员。
她对一家罗马的报社说：“对我们的动物做我们力所能及的事非常好，这些动物为了能得到我们的一点点爱，在我们的生活中倾注了它们自己所有的爱。”
报纸报道说，圆形的盆不能为鱼提供充足的氧气，而且可能使它们失去视力。
“在全世界，罗马更致力于保护鱼，其不同之处是认为鱼是一种有趣的动物，它理应得到象狗、猫以及其它动物一样多的尊重和同情”，一名善待动物组织的主任，卡林.罗波生如是说。
去年意大利通过的一项法律是对遗弃宠物的人课于重罚和收监。自从那时起，各地方政府增加他们自己的对动物保护的条文。
北部城市都灵在4月份通过了一项法律是给宠物主人最高为598美元的罚款，如果他们不能做到一天溜三次狗。
罗马新的法律也规定，不得将狗留在闷热的车内，不得为了好看而剪掉狗尾巴；对于那些喂养无家可归的猫的“猫女士”，该法律也预于了法律认可，从古罗马废墟到现代办公大楼的停车场，猫无所不在。
