However, there are also a small number of owners who allow their dogs to poop everywhere, and they also These infiltrations will not be removed automatically, and no one knows after the incident whose dog did it. If things go on like this, the surrounding situation will become worse and worse. Now, some big cities in the United States have launched the use of Try DNA to find the "culprit".

The company that provides DNA testing services is from Knoxville, Tennessee. They launched the "Poos" service to serve 26 large-scale clients in the Seattle area, including: apartment buildings, buildings, and homeowners associations.

Erin Atkinson, the property manager of a local apartment building in Seattle, said that pet dogs urinated and made everywhere messy. She said: "There is dog poop in the elevator, in the carpeted corridors, and on the roof. I think they are just lazy." Therefore, since February 2014, local owners have used DNA testing , looking for the "real murderer". Repeated attempts will cost US$29.95 (approximately RMB 183).

Atkinson said that there are probably more than 20 dogs in her apartment building, and someone has been fined for DNA testing.

The fine is calculated like this: urine testing costs $59.95, and property collection also charges $50. .

This method is actually a helpless move. If every dog ​​owner can voluntarily clean up the dog’s excrement immediately, then we There is no need to waste manpower and material resources on doing these trivial things.

At that time, if you knew that your dog became infected because it came into contact with the feces of other dogs, you would definitely scold those unhygienic owners in your heart.

So we should learn to put ourselves in someone else’s shoes. Maybe our small actions are not only harmful to other people’s dogs, but also to our own dogs. . Since you own a dog, you should take good care of your dog. If it is not urinating, then the problem is not big, but if it is defecation, then it should be removed immediately. This is to control the environmental situation and effectively reduce the problem. The spread rate of certain infectious diseases is high, so every pet owner should develop good habits, and the poop of his dog should be removed immediately.
