Does this anti dog poo ad work?

"The council took the decision to release this video as an innovative approach to raising the issue of dog fouling and the need for responsible dog ownership. It is accepted that this video is using shock tactics to address this serious public health issue but the council believes this is a means to an end."

Yet another example of a group of people, in this case an institution who are morally and creatively bankrupt. Their piece of copy is pretty much as per the contents therein!

 

[Phil Pascoe]

Worth a try. Reminiscent of NZ/ Oz TV.

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

Sorry....worth has a suggestion of value....there was no value in that piece of facile rubbish. And I think drawing the similarity to Australian TV is entirely accurate. I had the privilege of living there for a year. Never again would I criticise the BBC licence fee after that experience I can tell you.

I hate to sound like Colonel Handlebar Moustache but this is about standards. Much like Australian Tele.....there simply weren't any in that piece of utter tripe.

Spot on!
We get a lot of it behind out building (on a path out to the fields). Instead of clearing it away we aerosol red paint around every pile. At one point the circles just about all joined up with rotting heaps in each, plus flies etc. It worked however and they move on a bit further away. We had a word with one repeat offender who then left sh|t on our doorstep by way of a response. A lot of these people shouldn't have dogs. Bring back the dog licence - £100 per annus?

 

[Phil Pascoe]

People didn't pay the licence when it was 7/6.

Just as well we moved - an immaculately dressed elderly woman used to let her dog mess right outside our gate. Now, this is annoying in itself, but imagine how annoying it is when you're in a wheelchair not only do you track it all indoors but all over your hands as well. Had we stayed, I'd have had her followed, found out where she lived, collected the stuff in a watering can and poured it through her letter box. At least the house move saved me a fine.

They can be chipped nowadays. Will be compulsory soon. Dog warden with chip reader finds licence unpaid - shoots dog! =D>

It's not the dogs fault.!

 

[monkeybiter]

Seems like a rather extreme right wing sentiment from what I thought was a traditional leftie. :lol:

 

[Jacob]

OK. In the interests of balance - take out a similar number of cats.

 

[Random Orbital Bob]

Check for chipped dog is licenced and if absent....shoot owner!

Oddly, one of the fondest memories of my childhood is my father's intervention with a repeat dog-fouling offender who had managed to remain uncaught. On one particular day my dad had been doing some work on the guttering at the side of the house so happened to have a birds eye view of the offender, a very well turned-out lady, pillar of the community etc. She used to walk her dog past our house every day on her way to and from the local shops, and we had a convenient patch of grass which Tricki-Woo's owner regarded as her convenience.

The memory of my dad chasing her down the road with the still steaming coil on the end of a shovel shouting 'you've left this behind' will stay with me all my days; as it happens we never saw her again.

Anybody who's ever caught a piece with a strimmer will know that public shaming's too good for them.

P.S. When and why did they stop going white?

Does this anti dog poo ad work? Probably not.
Bring back the dog licence? Not a bad idea, but must be coupled to compulsory chipping.
Shoot the dogs together with the same number of cats? Probably about the stupidest thing to say.
Shoot irresponsible owners? Probably as stupid as shooting dogs and cats.

What I would do is fine all those who are in charge of a dog when it leaves a deposit and also the owner of the dog, a fixed fee of a weeks income.

Our neighbour has 3 boxers, I can count on one hand how many times they are taken for a walk on one hand per month, their toilet is their patio, it is approx 6 feet from our kitchen door and it stinks, especially in the summer. A nice lady from the county council sent them a letter saying the faeces had to be cleaned up daily, they did so for a few months but now it's back to when they think fit, unfortunately the lady said there was nothing she could do about the smell from their urine, however when I was speaking to a solicitor friend he said the council have an obligation under the clean air act to respond to any claims of unwanted smells, just one of many reasons why, out of the 7 houses in our close, 6 of us exchange Christmas cards and one doesn't.

......

P.S. When and why did they stop going white?

When they stopped eating bones regularly. Now it's all sorts of unpleasant squidgy stuff in tins and packets, with sh|t to match.

Shooting dog owners is a bit extreme; whacking them with a big spiky club will do.

 

[Sheffield Tony]

And what is it with dog owners who, when out in the countryside, carefully bag up their dog's excrement, and leave it by the path, or better still, hang it from a tree ? What's that about ? MY friend, who is a NT ranger, regards collecting up this sort of mess as the worst possible job. If you are guilty, take it home !

And someone mentioned cats. At least with dogs there is some recognition that leaving dung everywere is socially unacceptable. But it seems the accepted norm that cats can foul wherever they like. And their preferred site, if available, is someone's vegetable plot. Disgusting and unacceptable, but somehow the owners are allowed to accept no responsibility.

I was walking down the road by my house. It was a beautiful summer afternoon on a beautiful avenue. I saw a family of four finish their fish and chips and watched father throw the papers onto the pavement. I looked at swmbo. Don't. She said. Just don't. ... please don't. :evil: Red rag to a bull. I picked the papers up, threw them back in the open window telling him to f*** off and litter his own street. It was worth it to see his wife's face, let alone his.

Excellent! :mrgreen:

If I'd done that he would have got out the car and thrown a bag of recently collected dog poo at me!
