Owners count cost of dog fouling in Blackburn and Darwen
7:00pm Friday 6th July 2012 in News
IRRESPONSIBLE dog owners were fined £525 in June during a council crackdown on fouling.
Blackburn with Darwen Council officers handed out seven £75 fines to people walking their pets on Pleasington and Witton Park playing fields, in Blackburn.
Excuses included having no poop bags, to not seeing the dog foul.
Coun Faryad Hussain, executive member for environmental improvement, said: “Not cleaning up after your dog is disgusting and filthy. The majority of dog owners are responsible and pick up their pet’s mess, but there is a minority who are being selfish.
"My message to them is that they are letting down their neighbours, children, and visitors to the borough.
“We will fine people we catch who let their pets foul the streets. But we can’t be everywhere, so we need residents to help us tackle this issue.”
To report a repeat offender call 01254 585397.

Dont these irresponsible owners realize that children play in these parks. Wish it was policed more, I am sure it could make a full time job for someone.
Please note I am not having a pop at owners who clean up the mess. And I do like dogs even though I have no pets.

Sadists who own these sh1t producers should pay a higher rate of council tax than those who don't..Or the old dog licence should be brought up to date like between £500 to a £1000 to own a domesticated animal dogs cats horses. All animals that can walk around in public places should be micro-chipped licensed and insured to protect other members of the public against harm and injury. If some scrote lets its dog sh1t on your garden and you trip over it in only a pair of small sandals bang your head on the garden wall causing it to subside and you can prove that it was this scrotes dog that sh1t on your fcuking flowers in the garden then you know if he was insured you can sue the scrote for damages however most of these sadist freaks who own dogs cats horses generally don't have much else in their lives especially the ones who let their cr@ppers loose all over the place. Licence Insure Micro-chip Protect. (LIMP)..or you will do if you don't clean it up.

I saw this guy who looked well ard with his posturing, he said his dog was called Tyson. He said he likes to be called the ultimate chav and refuses to pick it up. He says your not ard until you've got an NI barcode tattoo, what does he mean, do I take his photo and report him or as my phone has barcode scanning facility do you think he'd kick my head in if I scanned him instead?

Getting a tattoo and a trip to bargain booze is all that will actually happen. those under the skin contraceptive things are a marvellous idea, they last about 3 years and you can even see they are under the skin, a safe to use by date should be Tattooed next to it.
