Un chipped dogs could then be taken away and the owner given 14 days to pay for the licence, chipping and fine or else the dog would be put down.
I also suggested that the dogs DNS should be kept on record so poo piles could be tested and owners fined. All paid for by the dog owner of course.[/QUOTE]
You know that is a FAB idea! You see, we are paying for these people at Whitehall and yet within a few short hours we have found the perfect solution to filthy, 'medieval-style dirty' roads, and it only took a handful of people!
As has been pointed out, it is the usual case of the few ruining it for the many. Most dog-owners are responsible and give half a thought to the environment they and their children live in. But the few who throw their dogs out to foul are more than likely the same few who also throw the kids out to run wild.
It's a depressing scenario.... Made worse when you know the government will not do anything of the sort and dog mess is just regarded as an occupational hazard if you have to walk down a street!
OH... and maybe it's better for some down Steiner St area, but the ginger chap who moved in opposite to me with his moth-eaten, flea-ridden mongrels has turned this area into a pet toilet!
