More details
Because, as a dog loving country, it is the responsibility of all dog owners to clean up after their own dogs for the health and safety of all residents in Britain. Just putting out signs that say the irresponsible dog owners will get fined is not enough, those fines are not being followed up on. The faeces on the sidewalks, grass, and play areas are increasing exponentially and this can taint the water supply as well, affecting the public at large.
