Here is a link to a US news story. U.S. News - Dog-poop DNA testing raises stench with renters It says the initial cost to the dog owners for the DNA test will be $30 and when caught fouling they will be fined $100 which will pay for the kit and the test. Here is a link to a US company that do dog testing PooPrints - BioPet Vet Lab This link shows that it does only cost $30 to initially test a dog PooPrints - DNA Collection Kit This link shows that its $50 for 5 dog waste collection kits which makes it $10 per collection PooPrints - Waste Sample Collection Kit You then have to pay for the test extra. The first link says that the $100 fine covers the cost of the kit and the test. A cost of $30 each time you buy a new dog sounds dirt cheap to me if it makes the streets cleaner. All we need is a government with some backbone - oops I see a problem already. |
Re: Omg ott! DNA for dogs
DNA testing just won't work, but a £5000 fine when some one is caught letting their dog foul, would, I think, focus the mind of irresponsible dog owners

Love this quote from Neil's link to the US story:
“I pick up my dog’s mess every time he goes, so it would be nice if they would take it out of the deposit to have this done,” tenant Michelle Oakes told KDLT. She means the deposit they pay when they take on the tenancy of an apartment but I didn't read it like that! |

Plus, every person will have to be tested as well.
So as to rule out human excrement. Unless you see who, or what's squeezed it out, unless you're an expert turdologist, I should imagine it's fairly difficult to tell who's created it. As in this infamous, foul smelling case. http://www.accringtonweb.com/forum/f...ter-36474.html |

Some person (I won't call them a human as that is too polite a term for someone who did what they did) had made themselves very comfy in the grass snuggled up against our wall and then proceeded to leave us a present. First they laid down a piece of kitchen roll, then did what they had to do (it was definitely not the shape of a dog turd) and tried to cover it with more tissue, then presumably hutched up their trousers and proceeded on their way. Delightful or not? I leave you to judge the mentality of that individual. |

Re: Omg ott! DNA for dogs
The EU has invested a load of money in methane digesters for the waste from farming -ie what cows produce - they have unfortunately been found not to be as good in practise as in theory as the waste alone is not enough to fuel them. I have visited several and the idea is great as they produce and sell electricity and the "waste" loses it's smell -shame they are not a financially viable option.

Re: Omg ott! DNA for dogs
Its on the front page of the Lancs Evening Telegraph today(so it must be true) under the heading "Name and Shame" irresponsible dog owners will have their photo taken(in Blackburn) and the photo posted on lampposts. I think this is possible a step to far and sound to me that this issue is taking on monster proportions.
I know that this is a problem as some owners will not pick up after their dogs, but I think that the legislation exists already to prosecute these owners. Lets focus on enforcement rather than having people hide in the bushes with cameras wearing night vision goggles, this action could be misconstrued. Plus all it will mean is that people will be going out in disguise, I myself will have to put on my false beard, whilst wearing a frock with a clog and a pump on my feet,................................. again. |

Re: Omg ott! DNA for dogs
Generally, across the board in the U.K., fines need to be enforced, and increased.
I'm always amazed at the reports in the Observer, of people who've been fined, and how little they have to pay. A hundred quid for no car insurance, fifty quid for not having a TV licence. Being so small a penalty, compared with the cost of insurance, or a TV licence, crime really does pay. Dog licencing would work, if the penalties for not having one were hefty enough. It seems to work for people who keep dangerous animals as pets. When I was a child tortoises were two a penny. Legislation that's been introduced, as brought added responsibility, for those who've still decided to keep them as pets. The same could equally be applied to dog owners. I'm sure every responsible dog owner wouldn't have a problem with a licence. Compared to vet's fees etc, the cost would be negligible. |

Its finding those responsible dog owners that not as easy as you think. I just gave a bag to a bloke in the park because his dog made an offering to the field. He bent down and pretended to pick it up, he was only 30 yards from a dog bin. I asked if he was going to pick it up and he asked if I had a spare bag which I gave him. I don't leave the house without plenty of bags but it would appear some people don't bother. Maybe he should have been arrested for be equipped to make a mess without bags :D:D I also saw some kids hanging around the back of the bowling green hut, they were about 16. I walked over with the dog and a girl was relieving herself over the wall on the public foot path. Those bottles of blue stuff they were drinking must go straight through you :eek: |

Re: Omg ott! DNA for dogs
Perhaps this dog poo thing has got out of hand. I agree it is distasteful for dog owners not to pick it up and penalties must be issued using the current legislation, and perhaps it would be likely to happen if we were not subject to all the cutbacks.
But lets keep it in proportion, dog poo is biodegradable, and does not exist forever. Lets perhaps focus on all the litter that is dropped, the travelers that invade the borough leaving behind a large mess and a big legal bill, the gangs of "kids" that hang around areas intimidating people. The empty shops, the lack of jobs. Do we really want to be in the spotlight as the town that picks a packet of poo and posts it, then prosecutes. |

As for the night vision goggles, that one was actually true wasnt it? My cousin works for a council down south and she says their wardens use them as well. Been pretty standard for ages, she says otherwise the streets would get covered overnight. I think its q sensible. Whereas the DNA stuff is obviously pie in the sky. |

It was on this same occasion that I was also informed that the dog wardens in Hyndburn won't be issued with night-vision, ploppy seeking goggles. The 'story' came about when a journalist spoke to a dog warden, and he shot from the hip, with some of these ever so popular, off-the-cuff blabberings.

Hi all, I'm the Lancashire Telegraph's Hyndburn reporter Emma Cruces
Don't usually post opinions but thought this may clear up some things regarding your debate. My story on the night vision goggles was based on information from Fran Gibbons, Hyndburns dog warden. I was surprised to hear they used them but Fran was happy to pose in a picture wearing the goggles from his own kit. Hope this clears thing up. |
