Rome bans ‘cruel’ goldfish bowls. 26/10/2005. ABC News Online
The Italian capital, Rome, has banned goldfish bowls, which animal rights activists say are cruel, and has made regular dog-walks mandatory in the Italian capital.
The city’s council said the classic spherical fish bowls are banned under a new by-law that also stops fish or other animals being given away as fairground prizes.
The newspaper reported that round bowls caused fish to go blind.

10 cent fish
people buy them to FEED TO OTHER FISH/ANIMALS!
they live longer in a bowl then they do when a turtle/etc eats them
and who exactly decided that round bowls make fish go blind?
