I am fed up with walking down the street and dodging dog bloody poo! Taking my son to school this morning was like the Krypton Factor with the amount of dog mess that was carelessly left all over the path. It's not really a difficult concept to grasp, you get a dog, you feed it, you clean up after it. That is what you sign up for when you get a dog. It's not just because a person can't bring themselves to do it because they have to do it at home in the garden, no, it's just because they are being plain lazy! Signs threatening to impose fines on the culprits do not work, who even enforces this policy?
Mansfield District Council think they have something that will help this problem. They have got volunteers to go round with pink die to spray on poo that has been left on the streets. They hope it will shame the owners who are not cleaning up the poo. Failing that then at least they are highlighting it so people don't step in it! Really though why should we have to go to such measures? It would not take any longer than 20 seconds to pick up, there are designated bins for dog mess and you can even get free dog poop bags from your council!
