Extra officer to help crackdown on dog fouling in Burnley (From Lancashire Telegraph)

The Canal and Subways are full of dog kaka !! The owners when caught should be forced to eat it or pay a £1000 fine within 6 weeks.

Bring back the stocks and pelt them with doggy plop. Gloves will be provided free of charge.

It's every town not just Burnley, if you have no car prepare to wade through mountains of ----

Whats he gonna do follow every dog or prove by DNA

Hey burnley council must be awash with money, they must be throwing money about like its confetti,
Well they must be if they can employ 4 dog dirt officers.

I won't hold my breath but is there a chance these dog poo officers may come around the Lanehead area as it would be far easier to negotiate your way accross an Afghanistan minefield wearing a blindfold than trying to negotiate the pavements around this area without standing in what looks like something a small horse has deposited on the pavements every few feet.

Another publicity stunt by Burnley council. the number of times Ive rang about people even in the town centre and they never get back in touch to follow it up...
Look at the council still bad service but they look good.

heres one,why is it that the police dont have to pick up there horse shyt when theyre on horseback,i dont see any diffErence except for the amount that horses throw out, DOUBLE STANDARDS ME THINKS,I MEAN KNOWS !!!!!

I agree, This is just another publicity stunt. Pendles parks are full of kak, but do you ever see a dog fouling officer, do you heck.They are probably in a meeting, at a workshop, or away on bonding courses Last year only 6 people were fined for 'litter' offences. When you look at the state of the area, they may as well not be here.

This is Burnley not Pendle!! You just have to read the local paper, there are more people done for dog fouling in Burnley than the rest of Lancs put together! (not sure thats necessarily a statistic to be proud of!!)

The main reason is that horse manure doesn't have the same detrimental effect that dog faeces does, but don't let that get in the way of a bit of anti police sentiment.

Horses are herbivores - they only eat grass.hay/straw/grai
n and their manure is organic and bio degradeable and don't possess the same harmful micro organisms that carnivore pooh - dogs have.

If you don't believe me, try putting dog pooh on your garden, you'll soon find out with all the flies buzzing about.

Yes, but it is still not nice to see PILES of it slowly rotting away on footpaths.
