Dog poo!

Our daughter, Susanna, is trying to get into local politics in England by standing for election to the local council. She has started a Blog for this and on it she had mentioned the problem of "Dog Poo".

I told Susanna that in Oulu it has become socially necessary for dog owners to collect their dog poo in plastic bags and place them in special waste bins located all around the city.

Think I am pulling your leg? Here are a couple of photographs from TODAY!





Wonder what our blog readers in India think of this? Do they think we are nuts?

  1. We have them too, but that isn't the problem. It is that they don't want to pick it up and put it in the bins. It is left for pushchairs to drive through and others to step in.

    Often we find bags (with poo in it) hanging off tree branches!

    What else can I say!

  2. It is different in India where the sun dries up the poo and it does not pose a danger or nuisance. Here, it festers, gets mouldy and damp and is a real nuisance. Yuk!
