    I mean, my shitty apartment did this too. They required a fecal sample from every pet so if there was a problem they knew who to blame

      I had this idea years ago (requiring dog owners to provide a DNA sample, test poo, fine owners). It’ll never happen in my country (UK), all the systems already in place are broken and fucked let alone adding a new licensing system. It’s getting crazy over here with bully XL attacks though so maybe something will change once enough toddlers & pensioners have been mauled to death.

          It was actually pretty great. In 2 years there was only 1 problematic dog. Measures like those generally keep the irresponsible owners away

        Depends on the definition of problem. If there reallu.was.one.or two not being responsible and all the others were picking up then even as a dog owner I wouldn’t want those inconsiderate to give me and my pup.a bad name.
