yup dog poop and cat poop contain toxocara which can cause and does cause blindness in children
however most dog owners are resposible and clean up after their dogs mess or their dogs do their mess in their own yards or gardens
if the figure is 1 child going blind a week from dog dirt there must be a hell of alot more kids been blinded by cat dirt because cats poop not only in their litter trays but in every one elses gardens where poeples kids play and also everywhere else a cat can roam
i see people cleaning up after their dogs but i have yet to see somone running around the neighbourhood cleaning up after their cat
bah filthy bloomin cratures shoud be shot on sight
ps:
i own neither a cat or a dog because i dont fancy fiddleing around with poop , if your not preppared to clean up after your pet dont have a pet
