Dog pile problem: Oschatz struggles for solution and cleanliness!

Oschatz. If you step into a dog pile: This is a horror scenario! The disgustingly stinking dirt sticks to the soles of the shoe and makes every walk to the nightmare. The city of Oschatz has long been fighting against the numerous "treadmins" that contaminate the cityscape. An appeal during the garbage collection "Clean and livable city of Oschatz" made high waves again last week, and the need for dog droppings containers became the topic again. But the promises of the city are in the room!

Mayor David Schmidt wanted to set up suitable dog toilet by the end of 2023. But reality looks different! Press spokeswoman Katja Suda confirms that there are no plans to reinstall the toilets. The last attempt, from 2000, ended in a disaster: the bags from the donor boxes were stolen massively by non-dog owners. Because the costs exploded, the containers had to be broken down. Just in time before the next dog droppings scandal ruins the cityscape!

Dog drop bags free of charge in the citizens' office

As an alternative, the Oschatz citizens can pick up dog decorative bags in the citizens' office free of charge. But that also seems to be unknown to many dog owners! Andreas Sachse warns: the situation has not really improved. Kotaufen are still omnipresent, especially on popular walks between Neumarkt and Promenade.

dog tax not earmarked

The dog handler in Oschatz blooms: With currently 801 registered dogs and an expensive dog tax that cannot even be used for additional dog toilets, part of the solution could be attributed to the responsibility of the dog owners. City spokeswoman Suda calls for self -responsibility: "Please dispose of the feces in the domestic waste bin!". A clear appeal to everyone who loves wet meadows and clean sidewalks!
