BBC has produced another fine article lambasting the Local Councils for watching over dog walkers and their feaces. Theres some excellent trivia thrown in as well, including:

- There are more than six million dogs in the UK
- They produce 900 tonnes of faeces a day
- Dog fouling costs councils £22m a year to clear up Ocular larva migrans is the kind of toxocariasis that can affect the eyes. There are on average 12 cases each year

So what do you think? Should CCTV really be monitoring this kind of thing? Or do dog walkers deserve whatever they got coming?
 
No it shouldnt be used for crap like this. Nor should it be used to monitor parents to make sure they are living in the correct catchment area for a local school!
 
Dogs don't do anything but poo. If you take one dog and continually squeeze it like an icing bag, you'll end up with a huge pile of poo and a tiny dog.

Intended pun? :p

And no, they should just keep the fines enforced and put more bins around for people to access. It's nowhere near as bad as it used to be, infact it's improved a massive amount lately.
 
Perhaps specific parts of the city, purely for dog poop, than people "interpreting" the area and trying to poop in between trees / patches of grass / random places.
 
I think there are more worthy causes who should be at the receiving end of Big Brother style surveillance than dog walkers, whose pets have no ability to let them know when they need an Eartha Kitt.

I don't like trodding on a dogs egg on a night out I must admit, but such intrusive surveillance should be directed on people who are a real menace to society.
 
No need for CCTV, just more enforcement of the rules.
My daughter stepped in some dog mess while we were walking in the park a few days back. I didn't enjoy trying to get it off her legs and shoes.
I see people letting their dogs crap on the pavement quite frequently. It's pretty disgusting.

Well we've finished scanning through all the CCTV footage Guv, anything, well if they looked like cocker spanials etc..., then we got loads of leads.
 
What? There's hardly any dog poo anywhere these days! When I was a kid the park and pavement used to be a minefield of brown surprises and these days there's next to none. Probably 99% of dog turds get picked up by their owners and put in the doggy dump bins.

12 cases a year, HAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!1FIVE

Isn't that what the CCTV is being used for? Enforcement of the rules.

I really don't see what the fuss is about using CCTV to identify litterers or those who don't pick up their dog crap?

The whole article is actually about the use of secret, hidden cameras to monitor dogs and their owners, not CCTV.

Better idea is to shovel their s*** up, follow them home, then force it through the letterbox. Repeat until problem is resolved.
