When the town hall of L’Escarène collapses in the face of the resurgence of dog droppings in the city center, it leads to a call for witnesses on social networks.
“It has been three days in a row that dog droppings from the same dog have been left on rue Carouge. Please provide all elements that enable identificationbegins publication dated Monday, October 7. The dog DNA operation will begin in the coming days, the dogs will need to be identified by a DNA form.”
It is also remembered “that the street is not a pigsty”photo of the incivility observed for support.
Although the method may seem curious, the operation to identify the dogs and their owners is well under way.
“Give the residents a sense of citizenship”
“People are complaining and it is neither beautiful nor rewarding for the village to see the streets in this conditionnotes Pierre Donadey, the mayor of L’Escarène. It was my deputy for urban planning, Jean-Claude Vallauri, who suggested searching for the DNA of dogs in the city center.”
The municipal board recently validated the principle of the DNA sheet for dogs. It now remains to investigate the implementation of this solution “innovative” and its costs. Because it will be necessary to call in a company that will supply the necessary equipment for the samples and then identify the animal.
“The goal is to give residents a sense of citizenshipcontinues the mayor. We are not here to punish, but to maintain cleanliness in our public spaces.” He also reminds that the city has a canisite available to everyone.
The targeted area for identification is the city center: the area around the school and high school, the gymnasium, the supermarket and the community center.
When the method is ready to be used, “People in this area will be asked to come and get their animals identified”.
The downside: everyone is free to do it or not.
So what to do if the owners do not come to have their dog identified? “People who have nothing to blame themselves will be proud to do so and will comeassures Pierre Donadey. Those who don’t come, everyone will know they’re the ones who don’t pick up their pet’s poop.”
He insists : “Our desire is to have a cleaner village, not to be oppressive.”
