DOG FOULING


This is disgusting, and the owners should be to blame! Any dog fouling done in parks, streets, general public open-air places should be cleaned up by the owner.
It is not nice wherever it is, so some consideration should be took, and it is an offence to allow your dog to foul in the places listed on the website, (link given below).



I admire the owners taking responsibility for their dog’s doings as it is the decent thing to do. I can understand if your in a very remote area i.e. up a mountain (I actually seen someone half way up a mountain clean up after their dogs, very committed) but there is no excuse to let your dog foul in public places and just left for someone to walk into or worse children mess with (which can be very dangerous). However if it is very noticeable that the area is not going to be used for public and then the owner should not worry, but on the pavement in a street/town/park…eugh! I have found an article on beating ‘dog mess’ and in it notes that camera’s are to be used to catch the irresponsible owners in Great Yarmouth, which is described as the ‘dog mess capital’, hmmm not a great description of your town is it. The cameras are a great idea because then their would be evidence and the owners can take the consequence of a fine for their bad behaviour.
As the picture say's dog owners 'Please clean up after your dog'.
