Got to catch them first. A database of doggy DNA, with samples being provided by vets whenever the dog is treated, should easily match the excrement to the owner.

Dougie Milne It should be 500 pounds and enforced.

Sean Wichman Litter is not a criminal offence, it is a by-law and for the penalty to be enforced the council would have to go through a civil court and sue the person.

Douglas Boyce Why do people in cities own dogs where the only place it can do its business is on the street or the road? Even if the poo is picked up it can

still leave a mess.

City Loon Think they need to actually enforce the penalties for folk leaving it on the pavements as well. My street’s covered. It’s disgusting.

Nicola Findlay Great but try and catch them will be the issue!! I have a wee dog always clean up after him.

Angela Mcdermott I don’t get this disgusting habit at all!!

Lesley Wallace Get more bins out.

Marjorie Campbell Another reason for robot dogs.

Robert Swarthout I always thought these were British prayer flags. Never seen them anywhere else before.

Moosef The penalties are there but it’s just not enforced, just like many other things that blight our society. Too many people are so self-involved they don’t care if what they’re doing negatively impacts on others – from litter to noise

Dunnomuch A true professional. Out walking 8 miles in the snow to treat a patient she cared about. Out earning money, putting her own life at risk to assist others and paying her tax so some layabout can claim their dole. employees trekked any miles to get to work! Dedication and effort especially in recent conditions deserve to be highlighted!

Irene Bell Dedicated – its people like this that should get on the Queen’s Honour List amazing.

Dorothy Quate Not all heroes wear capes.

Alan Paul The UK, a vassal state of the USA.

alex embo Was always going to be the case, the UK isolated are going to get shafted. I don’t think the Brexiters even believe their own jingoistic BS.

Thewindthatshakesthebarley I remain amazed that visitors to the USA ever survive the poisonous food on which the locals appear to thrive; and as for the horrors of cheap but quite drinkable whisky... No; let’s stick to over-priced UK food and drink and motor cars and petrol, etc.

Andrew Macaulay Dear oh dear. So it’s chlorinated Mcnuggets and Jack Daniels & Coke for us all next Burns Night. Have a nice day.
