Pooh On Street

I'd just like to say how much I've enjoyed the number of times the word "poo" has been used in this thread. Easily my favorite thread in the past few months.

What? That's ridiculous. Feces have negligible amounts of DNA. The cost of such a database and analysis of the poo is simply not worth it. It could be a dog from other county and then the whole system would be useless, provided the little DNA in poo even worked.

A search on this subject shows lots of communities trying this 'ridiculous' approach, like this one.

" Acosta said it costs $35 to register pets and $50 to analyze the waste samples. Hollywood Station doesn't charge residents to register their pets — it's part of their nonrefundable $350 pet deposit — but subsequent fines are subtracted from their security deposit, Acosta said. They've upped their violation fee from $100 to $150 to compensate for the testing costs. "

And company's offerring the service like this one

These communities probably have walls or fences around them and the residents must comply with the rules.
 
It seems that most Argentines , whether horrible driving infractions , evading taxes , simple manners , blatantly ripping people off, or letting their dogs let loose on the side walks ,

Argentines simply do not give a poo................
 
I want to know how the woman reacted when you threw her dog's pooh at her. I wish it was on film. I can't even begin to imagine her shock.
 
I just heard on the Dutch radio something interesting: a village in Spain is dealing very effectively with this issue: policemen in civilian clothes may ask the name of the dog if they see the doggy shitting on street or public places and the owner looking and not cleaning. All dogs are registered by name (in order to pay the dog-tax), they found out where the owner lives and within a day he or she gets a fine delivered. There's no more poo on street or public places.

Imagine this in Buenos Aires.

Well, I have seen a lot more dog poo on the streets of Spain (especially in the south) than in BA. In Seville it's really disgusting.

During January and February I spent 5 weeks in Sevilla, Malaga, Granada and Almería but saw little sh*t in the streets, but lots of people picking up. Never stepped on one. They must have improved since you were there.
 
Maybe they should introduce a test for potential dog owners which if they fail they don't get to own a dog.
I've been lucky enough to raise two German Shepherds from puppy stage and it required a lot of hard work and dedication.
We all have a different point of view on this, but 'owning' a dog is a massive responsibility and not a game.
