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 cufrew- and ordered to wear an electronic tag for two months.

Qaddafi Son: 'Obvious' Lockerbie Bomber's Release Tied to Oil
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,543979,00.html
Qaddafi said it was "not a secret" that his father inked a 2007 prisoner transfer agreement (PTA) with Britain's then-Prime Minister Tony Blair at the same time the two governments were signing favorable oil and trade deals.
"This whole deal with the British stinks," King told FOX News. "Obviously, to me (the British are) looking for oil, and as a result of that to allow such a known terrorist, a convicted terrorist out of jail, absolutely shameful."
