I live in Yorkshire in the UK and you can get fined £1000 for not picking up your dog turd. I'm not sure how well it is policed but my town is fairly free of dog turd. Parks, pavements etc are clear. I dont see much at all.
Please dont make sweeping generalistions like this. You are just plain wrong.
- car 17y agoAgreed, and corrected. Sorry to draw with a broad brush, these are late night ramblings of my very subjective observations. I have not lived in all of Europe to know local laws. Would actually be curious how this problem (dog poo) is handled in different countries.
- Angostura 17y agoIndeed.. But it's probably only been in the last decade, or 15 years that picking up dog poo has become a norm.
- yardie 17y agoThe thing about generalizations is 90% of the time they are true. Your city enforces city ordinances, that rare other 10%. A lot of other places don't and would be offended at the idea of having to. You know where else is clean? Singapore, the take it seriously (caning in extreme circumstances). Now I know Yorkshire and London doesn't have a dog poop problem, but the majority of Western Europe (I only know of France, Germany, and parts of Spain I visited) do. So we can say he is 90% correct. Which is still passing on most standardized tests.
