I BELIEVE that most dog-owners are responsible, caring people, however, I have noticed an increase of apparently responsible owners group who 'scoop & bag' as they should only to dispose of the parcels in an irresponsibly way, when no one is looking ..
These obnoxious little bags are to be seen adorning bushes, trees throughout this region.
How can we stop this small group of rebels who give the rest a bad name.
Well ... one possible solution: Take a DNA sample of each dog when it is registered, hair or swab etc.
Any dog mess found in the future can be traced back to the naughty owner.
You wouldn't even have to process each dog's DNA just a proportion.
It would serve as a deterrent that might change things.
