...to a 14 year old...

In the realm of silly laws....

Our world is going bonkers.

Her offence was to unwittingly sell a goldfish to a 14-year-old boy taking part in a trading standards 'sting'.

At most, pet shop owner Joan Higgins, 66, expected a slap on the wrist for breaking new animal welfare laws which ban the sale of pets to under-16s.

Instead, the great-grandmother was taken to court, fined £1,000, placed under curfew - and ordered to wear an electronic tag for two months.

We need someone like that guy on rational-scepticism to say "Serves the old bag right for breaking the law. And I hope they tasered her too."

I might invite him over here :D
