Hun owners Leave Mess Behind: St. Pölten's Urgent Call for Action!

dog droppings ensure massive resentment among the citizens in many cities. In St. Pölten, numerous dog owners are not repentant when it comes to eliminating the legacies of their four -legged friends. As ORF reported, the Kremser Landstrasse and the dog zone in the hammer park are particularly affected. Despite the existing dung bucket and feces bag dispenser, many dog owners leave their dog excrement simply. "It's actually everywhere," complained dog owner Katrin Friedl. Her fellow rider Ingrid Wiesinger showed no understanding of these grievances: "I don't want it to myself when I'm on the road with a child. \"

Although the city runs a variety of dog decotions and the number of complaints has not increased, the topic in the municipal council of Baden was already so hotly debated two years ago that even DNA tests for dogs were considered to identify the polluters faster. However, this was rejected as "impenetrable", which on the other hand does not reduce the dimension of the problem. Clever sorts of solution are already visible in other cities in Germany. According to a report by Resorti, cities have to become creative to get the legacies of the 8 million dogs under control in Germany. These include dog toilets and feces bag dispensers that ensure that dog owners have the necessary resources at hand to dispose of their animals' feces.

punishment and creative solutions

The legal situation provides for different fines in different federal states, which depending on the region amounts to 10 to 150 euros. In St. Pölten, the punishment for leaving dog droppings is up to 7,000 euros high if you are repeatedly caught. The measures range from friendly signs to strict controls, for example in Schwechat, where "Dog Watcher" are on the road for surveillance. Solutions such as DNA analyzes and special dog sector places are also on the rise in German cities to get the dog droppings under control.

Overall, the topic of dog droppings remains a place to hand in many cities. It is not only a hygienic, but also a social challenge that requires immediate action. In view of the creativity, with which different communities approach the problem, perhaps a solution could be emerging in the long term that benefits both humans and animals.
