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

- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline

- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

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.
See, this is the sort of landlord fuckery that gets tenants to start feeding raccoons.
I would 100% hand over some dog shit to never have to step in it again. Fuck my dogs privacy lol
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.
As much as I hate people not picking up their dog poo, I'd like to see leash laws enforced more. I don't care if you're dog is super nice, my dog might not react well to little Skippy running up to me.
100% this.
If I had a grudge against a dog owner then what’s to prevent me from stalking them, recovering dog poop that they properly dispose of, then dumping it in somebody’s yard to get them in trouble?
Keep in mind that the mayor is infamous for his positions and opinions. Any publicity is good publicity. He is far right and among other things he supports torture, death penalty, the great replacement theory. He is a fucking nutjob. For reference.
Why am I not surprised to find out a man like this has no chin. His family tree is probably more like a wreath.
So you know exactly whose door to throw the doggie-bag against. I like it!
While I generally like the idea, so dog holders can be held accountable, I see so much room for abuse here. Grab a poo bag out of the trash bin of someone you don't like, throw it on a lawn and you've created a ticket. Will be difficult to prove an alibi.
The town I was living in at the time did this about 10 years ago. It was a huge success, all of the problems were caused by a handful of people who didn't care to clean up. They were given finds and one person even got community duty and had their dog taken away from them (the dog was abused). Afterwards the problem was mostly gone.
Yes it costs money, but the results are excellent.
Let’s keep this in mind as we are being requested to share more of our biometrics…
Damn, I wish my apartment complex did this.
I swear I saw this exact same headline more than 20 years ago. Seems like it never really got started.
Just in time for the revival of lemon party and vintage meme
Maybe. I swear I thought it was france back then too though in the headline or maybe more specifically paris.
How much does DNA test costs nowadays?
