Woman fined for taking turtle for a walk in Rome
ROME - An Italian woman who took her pizza-sized turtle out for a walk has been fined €400 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.But it seems taking your turtle out, for one, is not. The Roman police said"the 60-year-old woman was caught outside her home without a justifiable reason" and fined.Roman police spokesman Nunzio Carbone told AFP that the woman was fined €400 because it was"not a justifiable excuse".
Italian authorities reported issuing a record 16,545 fines on Easter Monday, a national holiday in the largely Catholic country.Italians have been joking on social media about renting out their dogs to anyone who was going stir crazy and needed a good excuse to go out.
