dog owners need to pick up after their dogs,no one disputes this ,but what about cats ? i have had a running battle with tomcats on my property for years ,costing hundreds in damage .sometimes i get lucky and one will just "goes away"
And i thought i had heard everything.
DNA testing for dog poo ????
This can't be cheap. Wonder who the heck brought this idea
to the table? Sounds like maybe an ex-gov't employee who
once worked in the current administration.
Perhaps a little night ops is in order as others have suggested.
I would have a little fun with these clowns as well.
A trip to the circus when they come to town for a can full of
Elephant poo might be in order.
Just to make the poo testers talk to themselves for awhile.

APB (Assualt Pooper Ban) . . .
Dogs that can eat more than ten Scooby-snacks at a time will be illegal.
If your dog can eat up to ten snacks, you can keep him but you can only feed him seven.
No new puppies that will eat over seven snacks when fully grown allowed.
(Hey, it makes about as much sense as the new NY mag laws!)

In 30+ years I have had 3 female german shepherds as part of my family...trained and socialized...all three were sweet hearts unless provoked
by someone bothering a family member or by an uncivilized animal (dog).
We have a NEGLIGENT neighbor that has a very large aggressive (St. Bernard Cross) that has chased my wife into the house and attempted to take me on while out in the yard working in my flower beds which he uses as his toilet. The judicious COVERT application of .22 bird shot has put an end to this. The dog now hides when he sees us in the yard.
These neighbors have now added a second beagle cross to their family who uses our asphalt drive as his toilet (nothing like the smell of dog poo in the garage). The dog is brainless. I have popped him several times with a pellet rifle and he has almost done complete summersaults when .22 birdshot has been applied to his hind quarters. He would keep coming back. I finally bought a small portable corral fence charger and string a random wire pattern 12" high on the property. After a few weeks both dogs seem to acquire an aversion to straying onto my property. Although this spring it appears they will need to relearn this lesson.
Texas Star....I would like to borrow your leopard when you are done with him.

That's the start of the implementation of a National Weapons Registry, by Executive Order. By definition, dog poo is a weapon of mass destruction capable of spreading deadly pathogens by air and by foot. It would be easier to track an offending deadly weapon-dog to its owner. After all the dogs, they'll do it for all the cats. By the time it's all done, there won't be enough funding for a National Gun Registry. Would that prevent them from implementing such? No, they'll just add it to the long list of deficit contributors.

Just a few comments:
Have you ever seen a puppie die of parvo? Spread by feces and remains in the soil for quite a while, years even. Our last puppy didn't even take for a walk at the local parks until a year old.
A few years ago, wife and I went javelina (a small distant relative of the pig) hunting near Tucson. Local biologist told me that the populations were so low they had debated whether to cancel the season or not. Reason: Distemper from local dogs.
Does anyone compost dog feces? It can be done very easily!
Take a large plastic trashcan and drill a few holes at the bottom. PLace the doggie "stuff" in it with (IMPORTANT!) an EQUAL part of brown waste=I buy a $4.00 bale of peat moss and it lasts all year. Keep it moist. There will NOT be an odor. If there is, you are not using enough peat moss. The next spring, spread it on your flowers. DO NOT use it on veggies, especially root veggies.
We have 2 GSPs and a terrier mix. We get about 20 gallons of good quality compost per year.
Where we are at, city dogs need rabies shots and rural dogs don't. Go figure! Our big male pointer has scars from fighting coyotes before we got him (he was picked up along the ag ditch=likely a drop-off)

Bound to cause a little confusion, at the very least. Wow, it
all seems...Orwellian? Totally unrelated, but does anyone
remember who that comic was that said "If aliens were to
see humans walking dogs, they would most likely assume
that the dogs were the dominant species since they were
leading the humans around & the humans were picking up
the dog's poop"?

I would loan you the leopard, but like most cats, he is pretty independent, and I can't get him to make appointments.
I think he hangs around behind Korean restaurants, hoping for handout doggie dinner leftovers. Leopards will scavenge, if they can't find fresher meat. One reason why I admire leopards so much is that they are, above all, survivors.
"Mine" always seems to know when I'm having broiled antelope or his favorite, roast Greater Kudu loin. I let him sit at the table as long as he doesn't block my view of the TV. His table manners are impeccable, and he has learned to select wine well, Chateau Latour being his favorite with red meats. He likes impala but seems to prefer Thomson's gazelles or Springbok. He does like that if I shoot a couple of impala or Lesser Kudu and give him a whole one, he can hang the leftovers in his favorite tree. He just lugs the remainder of the antelope there, disdaining to ask for a "doggie bag", which as a cat he feels is a demeaning term for a leftovers container.
He's a good conversationalist, although he snarls like a mother-in-law if he's had a rough day.
If you'll PM me your home address, I'll tell him and hopefully, if you don't live too far away, he'll come over and take care of your dog problem. Leopards LOVE dog meat!
Just don't shoot too quickly at a shadow moving in your yard at the edge of the light. Might be Mr. Spots, dog removal specialist.
P.S. That term, "At the Edge of the Light" is in fact the title of a Lost World fan fiction that I'm writing. Yes, it involves a leopard, who gives Marguerite, Countess of Avebury, a nasty surprise at dusk.

I grew up in NYC long before the implementation of pooper scooper laws. Playing ball in the street or park was always an adventure ... a hop, skip, and a jump with some keen eyesight usually prevented one from hitting a dog pile. Were the streets filled with dog doo? Was sledding in the winter sometimes gross? Yes indeed. But we never expected the CSI team to come out in a HAZMAT truck to trace the poop to the offending canine. If DNA testing on dog doo is the future, I'll live in the past, thank you very little.

"The only thing I dislike more,tonight, is Internet commandos who level unfounded attacks at total stranger who happen to disagree with them."
The original poster told a humorous story about a bizarre situation in his apartment complex. The first response was a rant wishing death upon dogs and their owners. Accusing him of hating dogs isn't unfounded, it's accurate. Accusing me of being an internet commando attacking total strangers is not.
My real name is Rob Kaimakis and I'm troubled by men who hate dogs. Sorry if I offended you. Enjoy the rest of your weekend.
Race, Race...
Here I thought from your board name that you were a character in a F.Scott Fitzgerald novel. Now, you have this admitted second name which is, frankly, Greek to me.
But you are accurate: I do dislke things that bark in the night when I'm trying to sleep, sometimes kill young children in their homes, and which pursue neighbors trying to mow their lawns or just walk home from school. A couple of them got hold of a young woman trying to get in the door of her highrise San Francisco apartment a few years ago and killed her.
Dog bites are a serious health problem, and if the mutt has rabies...Well, read, "A Cold Mind", by David Lindsey. You'll not sleep easily around dogs after. Or skunks, etc. Really, read that: the author did meticulous research and he is a brilliant scribe of detective novels. His background research is impressive, and frightening! What you'll learn about rabies there will make you INSIST that all dogs be innoculated! "Country" dogs who may be exposed to skunks are especially vulnerable.
I am so sorry that you are "troubled" by men who hate dogs. Do you feel that way about men who hate coyotes, too? I also fall into that category.
I think we can get you an appointment with Dr. Phil, on next Thursady's show. He may be able to help you with this problem that you have about dog haters . Of course, if you are crazy enough to be a guest on his show, you probably really DO need to see a shrink!
Sorry, chum, you and I just have differing views of mutts.
And remember: leopards gotta eat, too. Wouldn't you rather have them pick off some dog whose barking has been keeping you awake rather than slay a beautiful antelope, or kill a poor warthog, who may already have personality disorders resulting from being born ugly?
Can't we all just get along?

No, unfortunately, nothing so dignified as a character from a respected author. Race Bannon is a character from a silly cartoon that I liked as a kid.
As far as dogs, you're right. We just have a difference of opinion and you are every bit as entitled to yours as I am to mine.
Take Care,
Rob

Anybody who puts ketchup on a hotdog ought to be...be....ONM.
Gas or solids? Firm or liquid? Would you believe bigger than a bushel basket and round? You think horses do a job in parades? You should have seen the elephant parade in U dorn, Thailand. Big enough to total a Datsun pickup!

Mustard and chili. And that's about the only place where I like "normal" mustard. Usually go for Country Dijon.
I reserve ketchup for French fries.

Living in Paris (where dogs and sidewalks are in abundance)... I learned of the French solution to pup pooh.
They had as fleet of motorcycle pooh pickers with high tech pooh vacs to clean up every morning. I understand that fiscal pressures closed down the fleet, but they were active on the streets in the late 90's.
Who says the French don't have any good ideas... even better than Pooh DNA.
