Pooh On Street

[cbonanni]

After trapping over 3 dozen ferral cats , and turning them over to humane services for sterilization , along with a US$25 dollar donation per cat , yes , the sociopathic behavior came out in me. But hey a few drinks , and .02 cents per .22 round, it became a much more economic option.

The ferral cat problem was so bad , I would have had to trap hundreds.

But if you have never been there , don't criticize it. Fleas , feces , breeding , etc..... Ever heard ferral cats fighting at night ? Transferring a 20 pound , raging mad

male ferrel cat from trap to cage was a very scary job. After sterilization , the chance of finding these mad cats a home was slim to none , and they were euthanized anyway.

Alas , I have mellowed , now I just plunk kids in the playground across the street with my bb gun...... never breaks skin and of course no head shots...

You realize , I am kidding about the bb gun ?

If everyone, including their dogs, ate more cheese the problem would be drastically reduced. Just a thought......

Do as the fashionable and affluent tourist beckoning the magnet int'l city of island CAPRI.
Fine all the poop letting owners with a hefty fine and track down who's dogs is doin' it by
means of using the pooh's DNA! Now, in Argentina or especially in Bs As, would be extremelly
difficult to track down the owners of all its strays on the street.

The island of Capri, a Italian summer destination for movie stars and other members of the super-wealthy jet set, aims to bust irresponsible dog owners - using DNA.


Capri mayor Ciro Lembo says it costs the tiny island in the Gulf of Naples around 5 million euros a year to keep the island clean and he won't stand for thoughtless dog owners leaving behind piles of Fido's feces.
"Do you really think we will let the reputation of the island whose beauty is coveted by the world be compromised by bodily needs left in the streets by inattentive or arrogant dog owners," Lembo said in an interview with Adnkronos.
The canine population on the island in the Gulf of Naples in western Italy numbers around 1,000, or one for every six human residents, according to La Stampa newspaper.
Blood samples for each dog will be filed and starting in June local government ecological workers will locate the excrement, call the police who will send a sample to a laboratory where DNA will be extracted and compared with the results of blood samples.
The process won't be cheap, but neither will the fine: up to 2,000 euros.

I only notice it where there is a portero gap...or the shopowners aren't too proactive at cleaning their shopfront.

The guiltiest offender group seems to be the oap's, most of them aren't about to change their habits and most of them have dogs to keep them company (or safe).
