I think it's a good advert and gets the point across that children do just pick things up and put them in their mouths, so dog owners need to clean up after their dogs.

Responsible dog owners already clear up after their dog. The kind of people who don't clear up after them are hardly going to be affected by this cynical shock-tactic. Waste of time and money, start imposing heavy fines instead.

We have waste bins and Poop the scoop signs here and STILL some people leave their dog mess behind it infuriates me,such lazy,thoughtless people and the council are as bad for not following up on their policies.

If wardens are employed to try and catch dogs and their owners in the act, isn't that a much greater waste of time and money? After all, many of the dog-deposits I come across are in rural or semi-rural areas where dog-owners drive out and then let their dogs loose - any warden would be spotted a mile away, unless, of course, they've gone "undercover" ..... |

The child in that advert is clearly in a park. There isn't any reason not to have wardens regularly doing the rounds, and if you're fining people £1000 a time, then it's going to be cost-effective. In fact, parks should have park-keepers to sort this stuff out. Local authorities waste enough money on other projects, I think keeping playparks safe ought to be higher on their list of priorities. I'm not sure what you can do about the people you describe as letting their dogs loose in rural and semi-rural areas, but then I suppose parents wouldn't be expected to let their toddlers wander around on their own in rural and semi-rural areas. |

Inevitably, dog-owners turn up in their cars from dawn to dusk to release their dogs to run free and foul everywhere except the play area. Most owners will follow their dogs and pick up the mess, but some don't - but kids are encouraged to run free, too, and investigate the flora and fauna - inevitably, that occasionally brings them into contact with somebody's dog's thoughtlessly left excrement. The park has rangers, but they can't be everywhere at once and they don't cover adjoining farms, which are also accessible to the public. Last edited by Omah; 20-06-2013 at 02:42 PM. |

Whatever little kid would go over and eat dog sh*t of the ground is probably lacking something in their brain anyway.
I'm sorry but it's just stupid. I can't picture any 2/3 year old that has been brought up properly with a basic understanding of right or wrong, eating dog sh*te of the ground - it doesn't look like chocolate, and even if it was chocolate - by the age of three they should have the common sense not to eat it off the ground.

If there's a dog mess problem in your park, and it already has warden, and obviously they can't cover the whole of the countryside, then my best suggestion would be the parents to take responsibility for the safety of their own child. |

How do "parents to take responsibility for the safety of their own child"? NOT take them to the countryside, parks or public places ..... |
