People in Spain have been “walking” fish bowls, chickens and toy dogs to get around stay-at-home orders.
The Spanish government’s strict stay-at-home order allows people to leave their homes to walk their pets.
And that order has prompted some people to get creative in what the government means in the terms of “pet.”
On Friday the Spanish National Police tweeted an image of a man getting fined for “walking” a fish in a bowl in northern Spain.
He was penalized for violating government orders to stay inside.
But he’s not alone.
On March 16 Spain’s National Police Union reported that they confronted a man for walking a toy dog on a leash.
The police union urged people not to try to deceive the police.
And on March 25 the Spanish Civil Guard in Lanzarote, Spain accused a man of violating movement restrictions for taking a hen to walk.
