Heard this on NPR... lol

This Spanish Town Is Using Doggie DNA to Find Poop Offenders

Dog owners in a Spanish municipality who don’t clean up after their animal may be traced through the DNA in their pet’s feces, to try and keep the roads clear of unsightly dog mess.

A statement on the City of Mislata’s council website explains that dog owners must enrol their pet in a mandatory canine registry by taking them to a veterinary center to give a quick, free blood sample, before Dec. 31 this year.

Then, if their dog leaves a mess on the pavement that their owner fails to clean up, street cleaners can collect a sample of the feces and take it to a laboratory, to be analyzed. Thanks to the council’s new DNA analysis system, the dog will then be identified and linked to its owner, who will be contacted and given a fine of up to €200 ($220)

“Remember to always carry a plastic or paper bag when you go out for a walk with your dog,” the council’s statement concludes.

This is not the first instance of DNA dog poop testing. There’s even a doggie DNA lab in Knoxville, Tenn., called Poo Prints, which helps condo and apartment managers identify the dogs who leave a mess on premises across 30 states.

I so enjoy ...

this quiet home in the middle of 2.19 acres in the woods

absence of traffic ... I am the next to the last home on a long dead end road ... homes are spaced far apart ... the only traffic is the woman in the very last place ... there are not any homes across the road, it is hunting land but I have yet to see any hunting activity ... though I do hear shots in the far distance once in a while from over that way, plus my own shots during warm weather - copperhead snakes are not sparse ... now that it is cooler, snakes are not out but the coyotes are very vocal in the evenings ...

lack of crime

value the privacy a great deal, that was the deal-maker

seeing deer occasionally in my backyard

seeing this one goat in a pasture driving in from work ... he always grazes on his knees, he folds his front legs under ... just seeing him cracks me up every time

as soon as I get home from work, I let Kevie and Jennifer out to play in the backyard, sit and watch them from my favorite outdoor chair, they are so funny, watching them relaxes me

neighbors have been friendly ... thank goodness they have finally quit inviting me to church and I am no longer receiving various church fliers in the mail (whew) ... I think they realized I am one of the ones who moved here for privacy, plus, I put a No Tresspassing sign at the entrance of my driveway

Rock-on..You are more fortunate than me..Except for the snakes.

I took my friend out to lunch after organ practice at church today; a sea of smiling faces and Trump t-shirts were everywhere we went.

Right now I don't like my town or my country...

[gotoseagrl]

I'm not proud of being in my country right now. Hopefully 4 years from now I can be again.

But I will always love my beautiful, diverse state. And being closer to the ocean and down the street from the "happiest place on earth". Especially after a horrible election day ... the nightly fireworks will always remind me that life, beauty & excitement will still go on, even if I am so far from excited right now.

Sounds like a beautiful place!

Hey y'all... please remember to keep the comments in this thread positive... positive... POSITIVE. It's nice to have a place on BFP where we can express our appreciation / gratitude / happiness about where we live.

Yes, there are reasons not to be 110% thrilled about our current location and there are other threads to express those thoughts and feelings.

Thank you!

I think since we are all adults, we can chose to write something positive or not.

Only moderators get to tell us how or what we should remember to write.

[Lyte]

Wow

I didn't think it too much to ask that we try and keep this particular thread positive since I started it and did so with that specific goal in mind.

But you're right, such a request was too much for me to ask. Thank you for making that fact abundantly clear.

That I live in a heavily populated queer area. I see butch-femme couples when out frequently.

I want to apologize for this. I don't usually write pissy posts but it was right after the election and I was not feeling good about most things.

I still hate Trump and am still very upset that he won the electoral college votes but I did not need to take it out on a really nice thread.

Forgive me?

PS: No one made me write this, it was the right thing to do.

Where I live is truly green all year round. Just drove through Illinois, Missouri and Arkansas. Made me appreciate how lovely where I live is in winter.

[Lyte]

What?!?! Forgive?!?! But of course!!!

Your feelings are very understandable.
