So again, what about the rats and mice? We all know how beloved the brown rat is in Europe so do you guys adopt them? Maybe turn your home into a “wildlife refuge”? Nothing happened to the poor little critter (that's his picture in the article). A fine would be appropriate and I doubt those people will "think about it" much. So how is that enforced? If a bobby sees you holding a goldfish is he going to beat you with his billy club while blowing his whistle? Or do you have to wear a scarlet "H"?

Hamster mutilation = bad

Hamster in the mail = funny (more like point and laugh funny)
