Rupert_Baehr Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 If you live in a council property and you have a dog, aren't the council supposed to send somebody around to clean the dog poo out of your garden? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xranus Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Why should the ratepayers have to pay rates to have this filthy mess cleaned up. The dog owners should be found and made to pick it up with their bare hands. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rupert_Baehr Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 How much are the ratepayers going to have to pay to set up the dog DNA database? How much would testing each dog poop cost? (Would the sampler just take a bit, or pick up the lot and put the unused portion back afterwards?) If you catch an owner allowing a dog to crap and leaving it behind, that's one thing - but how many dogs are let out at night by lazy owners to do their own thing?

Whilst i agree with your comment, how would we catch said dog owners, short of having CCTV on every street corner, it's an impossible task.

gnvqsos Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 If the dog mess was in my area would take a shovel to it and shift it myself-I would not delegate such an unpleasant task to another person.Once on shovel I woud relocate to the home of the dog-owner.

Rupert_Baehr Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 Picking up (your own) dog's crap is hardly 'such an unpleasant task' nor is it difficult. You put a plastic bag over your hand, pick up the crap, turn the bag the other way out and tie the neck. The bag goes in the dog poop bin (if there is one) or in your dustbin.
