Dogs

Walking in the street and not finding any excrements of dog has become a very rare thing. We found them in the road, parks, and almost everywhere, and it is a problem because of the image it gives to our city and also because it is very disgusting when you are not paying attention and you step on one of them. The only thing you can do in that moment is to think that it will bring you luck, but I am not sure if it works. We could try to solve that problem making the inhabitants with pets of town conscious of  the responsibilities that animals bring with them, starting with a campaign in which the government would give plastic bags to those who had a dog as pet in order to teach them that animals need to do their bodily functions but they are the ones who have to take care about them. However, it would be a really slow solution because it would mean changing a lot people's perspective and if they don't do it now I don't think they would do it later. On the other hand, we could try something more radical like fines. If there were police in places like parks in which people with dogs usually go to walk their pets, and they would fine anyone who let their pets' excrements on the floor the problem would be erradicated much more faster than we think. Nobody likes to pay fines and even less if it is simple to avoid it. To sum up, I really believe that a radical option would be much more effective than any other kinder solution.
