Only in California.

My question is: why was the owner fined £30 when this is America, not England? Is it a British site or something?

yeah, its parent company - orange - is a british company.

Sexual harrassment, most likely.

Who's to say the chicken wasn't running away from her attacker!?

I say that chick (*snerk*) should sue the govenment for every penny it's worth.
