Is it ridiculous?

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.

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

Much cheaper to do as happened with the benches.

It isn't just the inital, and ongoing cost of DNA testing every single dog, and each new born pup, who's going to go around, taking samples of random dog poo?

Are we going to bring in the army?

Different in a gated community, as in the link Neil gave, of dog owners living in a specific residential area.

There'd be all kinds of legal challenges, if this was introduced.

'No M'lud, Muffy's never plopped in Rhyddings Park, though she is walked their daily.'

'Some naughty kids must have taken her plop-plops there on a shovel, from our front garden.'

'Where she legally lays her dainty little dog eggs, each and every morning.'

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

We live on a private road with a back lane behind our garden wall that has a grass verge up against the wall. On the other side of the lane is an old cemetery where many people walk their dogs so the incidence of poo in our area is quite high. However the other day I came across a deposit which had definitely not issued from a canine backside.

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.

Even so called good dog forums don't help out owners by stating legal responsibilities so its not surprising many people are unaware of the current dog laws.

Re: Omg ott! DNA for dogs
 
People are generally unaware of these laws - if a law were to pass that all dogs/owners had to have a license, it would be a requirement of that license for the owner to know the law. There's a petition now for this to happen.

I like this idea.

NYU Student Wants to Convert Dog Poop into Fuel - DNAinfo.com

People could soon be running out in the streets with a bucket. To pick up any dog's plop-plops.

Even if a passing pooch just had a strained look on it's face, and was only thinking about laying a steaming, golden, dog egg.

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.

Sat in my trailer park the other day, I happened to read on one of those conspiracy website that cars can run on fresh air.

But the world's secret elite rulers are keeping it all hush-hush.

To apparently make more money, and see the breakdown of this planet's current governing bodies.

You'd probably find Cherie Blair, being funded by the tax payer via Legal Aid, taking on cases, because peoples' Human Rights were infringed, because they didn't want DNA samples taken from their much loved property.

Of course, they could always take their cases to the European Courts of Justice.

As the backing of the European Union would be needed, before anything like this was introduced.

After all, we are Hyndburn International.

I would think the government a few things a little more pressing that talking about dog crap, in parliament, it's not being short sighted its looking at thing logically, DNA testing every dog in Hyndburn and somebody going round scooping up dog droppings, well when you think about it is laughable, if they fine irresponsible dog owners £5k for the first offence, I think these people would think twice about not cleaning up after their little pooch

Never really followed the Archers Sue -but as for methane digesters they are a highly contentious subject.

To keep them going you don't just need the "Poop" that has been scooped. They end up having to top them up with high quality maize which is at a premium and it just isn't financially viable. As an alternative, in N. Europe they mince up the remains of animals that die on farms and feed that in ...not a nice reality and will probably have the animal rights folk up in arms -but that is he reality of this particular science. The digesters cost millions to set up (many of which come from EU grants to agriculture) and run so ...at the end of the day they are not a viable "ecological" option for now at least.

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.

Anaerobic digestion and gasification are both ways of turning biomass into renewable energy. In the former, the biodegradable waste material is broken down by micro organisms in the absence of oxygen, the end result being mainly methane which can be used as a fuel.

In gasification the biomass is heated to high temperatures with a controlled amount of oxygen to produce a mixture of hydrogen and other gases which again can be used as a fuel. It was the process used in the early gasworks until they were superseded by the use of natural gas whose formula is more akin to the product of an anaerobic digester, being mainly methane.

Enforcement should be enough, if we cant manage with the legislation as it is, then why collect the evidence and compile a database, or snoop about taking photos, we wont be able to enforce that either.

Lets have a license for dogs collected locally to be used to enforce the current laws, and the fines then put in the pot as well. This would incentivise the council as the more efficient they are the more cash is available

That is simple like I said before. A dog found with no licence should be taken away and if not collected within a set time with license and fine paid should be put down. Its not fair on the animal being owned by someone who does not care about it.

People appear to like the words not enforcible on here at the moment.

there was a system in place for dog licenses, but I agree that there would be no easy solution.
Slightly off at a tangent, when you buy a telly, the shop has to inform the tv licencing authority, I know it wouldnt cover all situations but it is a start if people who sell dogs had to inform the council.:dogrun::ooh:

How much do you think a dog licence should be?? Seem to be remember they were seven and sixpence in my youth - I'll leave you to work out how long ago that was and then maybe we could come up with an equivalent figure in today's money.

I think it should vary, £50 if the dog has not had its injections, wormed chipped or neutered(controversial), then a discount for each item undertaken.


Then if the owner has all the items done to him/herself then it should be free

Many of the people who sell dogs are only in it for the money and do not care for the dogs or they would not breed them in the way they do.

This is two BBC documentaries back to back about dog breeders, many of them registered by the Kennel Club who if you watch the program you will probably agree are part of the problem.

Sorry about the text at the beginning of it but it does explain about the BBC documentary.

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:

Searching for 'canine mess dog dirt' just brings a whole load of other shi'ite, fundamentally not concerning Hyndburn International Council's dogging dollops of shame.

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.

Ken, Lord of all things doggy, while your about I have heard there are several dogs running about on Huncoat playing fields that might not have the legally required collar and tag with owners name and address on. Please send the dog warden to remove these strays. You may wish him to be accompanied by a Police officer.

Quote:

The Control of Dogs Order 1992

Wearing of collars by dogs

2.—(1) Subject to paragraph (2) below, every dog while in a highway or in a place of public resort shall wear a collar with the name and address of the owner inscribed on the collar or on a plate or badge attached to it.

Offences

3. The owner of a dog or the person in charge of a dog who, without lawful authority or excuse, proof of which shall lie on him, causes or permits the dog to be in a highway or in a place of public resort not wearing a collar as prescribed in article 2(1) above shall be guilty of an offence against the Animal Health Act 1981.


Seizure of dogs

4. Any dog in respect of which an offence is being committed against this Order may be seized and treated as a stray dog under section 3 of the Dogs Act 1906(1) or under section 149 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

Enforcement

5.—(1) This Order shall be executed and enforced by the officers of a local authority (and not by the police force for any area).

(2) In this article “local authority” and “officer” have the same meaning as in section 149 of the Environmental Protection Act 1990.

It couldn't have been, 'blown out of proportion', if someone hadn't mentioned it to the press in the first place who did that Ken?

Please don't be so patronising next time you post on here, we know things can be blown out of proportion, someone even gave the press a story about doggy poo and night vision glasses! Whoever it was should rejoin the real world, maybe good old fashioned fine enforcement would bring better P.A. results?

No, Hyndburn isn't any getting night-vision goggled commandos, seeking out doggy plops laid under the cover of darkness.

Apparently this story also originated when a dog-warden spoke to a reporter 'off-the-cuff'.

It was the picture conjured up by the quote that I was wondering about:

How many dogs would you need to "cover the streets overnight" - or are they especially large and/or with a tendency to looseness in their leavings?

No, we're definitely not having these goggles in Hyndburn, and this information came from the horse's mouth, so to speak.

When the Deputy Leader of H.B.C. came and knocked on my door.

Primarily she'd come to confirm that the benches removed from outside of the Market Hall, had been damaged beyond repair, when they were being dismantled, but I was a very naughty boy, because apparently I'd been misinformed about the gypsies being told to take them away.

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.

I believe, for speaking to the press unofficially, he'd landed himself in some dolloping doggy doo-doo.

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.

In the two pics used by the Daily Mail there is no sign of the night vision goggles - just a prat in a rather silly hat.

Perhaps, this is the reporter that is rumoured to have horseriding in common with a certain Councillor and just might be trying to relieve the pressure he may have put himself under when mentioning DNA testing for dogs?
