I would be surprised if the european law makers had taken the time to hunt down every single bylaw from way back when to make sure they really want to include it.

This is certainly the case here in the USA. Many old laws are still on the books related to where one can tether animals....trust me, we don't worry much about where to park our horses in the city.... or sex laws... don't even get us started on those! [img]smile.gif[/img]
