allowed and dog owners must walk their dogs.
This comes after a national law was passed to give prison sentences to people who desert cats or
dogs.
"The civilization of a city can be measured by this," said Monica Carina, the councilor (议员) behind
the new law.
"It's good to do whatever we can for our animals who in exchange for a little love fill our existence
with their attention," she told a Rome newspaper.
The newspaper reported that round bowls don't give enough oxygen for fish and may make them go
blind.
"Rome has tried to protect fish more than anywhere else in the world. It stands out for recognizing
that fish are interesting animals who deserve(值得) over respect and compassion every bit as much as
dogs and cats and other animals," said Karin Robertson, a director of the People for the Ethical Treatment
of Animals.
Last year a law was passed in Italy that gives people who desert pets big fines (罚款) and prison
sentences. Since then local governments have added their own animal protection rules.
The northern city of Turin passed a law in April to give pet owners fines of up to ＄598 if they do not
walk their dogs three times a day.
The new law in Rome also says that owners mustn't leave their dogs in hot cars or cut their dogs' tails
to make them look lovelies. The law also gives legal recognition to the"cat ladies" who feed homeless cats.
The cats live all over the city from ancient ruins to modern office car parks.

| Advertising is a form of communication that uses all kinds of media, and is visible everywhere these days. Typical customers of advertising companies are other companies, or businessmen, who want to persuade potential customers to buy more of what they make or sell. But there are other kinds of customers. Some organizations spend large sums of money on advertising a political party or other group that sells what is not, strictly speaking, a product or service. Such non - profit organizations are not typical advertising customers, and they prefer ways of spreading knowledge, changing attitudes, and improving society. Many advertisements are designed to increase sales of products and services by either improving brand image or, in the case of non - profit organizations, expressing ideas. In order to achieve th~s, advertisements will often pass on truthful information while delivering their messages. Every major medium is a means of delivering these messages, including television, radio, cinema, magazines, newspapers, video games, the Internet and billboards (大幅广告牌). Advertising will usually be created and. placed by an advertising agency on behalf of company or other organization. Spending on advertising has increased greatly in recent years. In 2006, spending was estimated at $155 billion in the United States and $385 billion worldwide; the latter is expected to reach more than $500 billion by 2010. While advertising can be seen as a necessity for economic growth and social development, it is not without social costs. Advertisement emails and other forms of junk mail have become so popular that ~they have become a major burden to users of I nternet email services, as well as a financial burden on Internet email service providers.
