#1 "We have talked to a lot of experts in the field and this is the best solution we could have come up with," said Lee March, a resident and the board's president.

Mean while, the dogs have taken their own action.

#3 An example of the "tragedy of the commons" suitable for kids. It will be the best lesson they learn today.

#4 Had to go check out the story before commenting.

First, its not a news article, its an news-style advertisement. Second, that is a nice neighborhood, so its not gangsta-g with his pack of wardogs flashing steel at people who look his way. This is rich people problems. Third, even the rep says its not the condo people who are doing it, its other dogs - dogs which would not be registered by this program and the fines would not be enforcable.

I think its time we ban high-capacity dogs. Poopers, your poopers please.

(Thanks for the link BP)

Now, this story irritates me for some reason and I'm going to try to get the bug out. Foremost, people are letting other people via dog crap all over their property and thereby their family. That's your life's work, those are your kids, stand up dammit! I ambushed a veteran alley cat with a tomahawk. Yeah, you read that right, missed by only a couple inches. See, it was peeing on my porch and I don't want my little ones playing in cat pee. Also, I cannot predict or count on that cat being in a good mood. Nor the loose dogs I chased off in my bare feet and berserker barking. Take some control, there are things which can be done: its the 21st century, take a picture of the owner with a dumb face and the dog in duty, print it and post it in the yard for next time. Dog is loose, water balloon with bear urine, don't even have to hit the target just miss upwind, or dribble a bit along the perimeter - however messy you want to get.

And the animal rights people can go kiss it, because in this case the animal abuse is the owner not taking responsibility for their animal which could cause real harm to a child who gets this in their mouth, as well as property damage. Right Mr. Gifford?

#6 I, at one time, posted a sign on my property "Doggies, please ask your pigs to pick up your poop." Mrs. Phester didn't like it much and it only lasted a few days....

#7 @5

I read something the other day about law enforcement in Georgia, I think, going car to car at a traffic inspection and asking for a DNA swab.

#8 Besides, they probably already lifted DNA and fingerprints from payments mailed to the IRS, and know what you look like by doing a search engine of the security camera footage matched against your purchase of $11.49 on your credit card on 4/18/13 at 14:38:16.
