City uses DNA to fight dog poop
PETAH TIKVA, Israel (Reuters) - An Israeli city is using DNA analysis of dog droppings to reward and punish pet owners.
Under a six-month trial programme launched this week, the city of Petah Tikva, a suburb of Tel Aviv, is asking dog owners to take their animal to a municipal veterinarian, who then swabs its mouth and collects DNA.
The city will use the DNA database it is building to match faeces to a registered dog and identify its owner.
Owners who scoop up their dogs' droppings and place them in specially marked bins on Petah Tikva's streets will be eligible for rewards of pet food coupons and dog toys.
But droppings found underfoot in the street and matched through the DNA database to a registered pet could earn its owner a municipal fine.

This story reminds me of a sign I saw last week in my daughters piano teacher's neighborhood. It was written on a HUGE piece of cardboard.
It said:
Take your DOG and its POOP to your own yard.

they must be having one hell of a dog poop problem in Petah Tikva, is all I have to say.

I think this is a great idea.
Dog poop does a LOT of damage -- it is essentially organic graffiti.
And you "my dog deserves freedom" can stop by my condo and pay the several hundred a shot for cleaning up after it.
Dog crap is a crime -- and I fight it as such.
