It is true that dog fouling seems to be on the increase in some areas. Still, there is plenty of info out now, and another body is unlikely to cause those who don't bother now to change their behaviour, and there will always be those who believe in the dog poo bag fairy who picks them up after you.<br /><br />I don't think that there is much evidence in the UK nowadays of human health problems caused by dog poo, but I would highlight one health hazard that still comes from this, but that's to other animals. Not everyone worms there dogs thoroughly, and they're not 100% all the time. Where popular dog walking routes go through fields with stock such as cows and sheep, problems still arise, so perhaps we could just be more aware of that.<br /><br />Still doesn't justify another organisation, celebrity endorsed or notAlison at muksakhttp://www.muksak.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7457786458429416955.post-35966890543848998182010-07-10T17:10:18.562+01:002010-07-10T17:10:18.562+01:00Beverley..I couldn't agree more.

I was watching something about Mounted Police in Manchester about a month ago, and they were asked by a group of people that if they have to pick up after their dogs, why shouldn't they pick up after their horses, she replied that dog poo is dangerous, because it give people cateracts!!! You's really hope someone who is listened to in such a public job could not spout such rubbish!!Gilliannoreply@blogger.com
