City Uses DNA To Sniff Out Dog Poop Offenders
An Israeli city is using DNA analysis of dog droppings to reward pet owners who clean up after their pets and punish those who don't. A six-month trial program launched this week, in the city of Petah Tikva, to tackle the dog mess problem in a high tech way. The program asks dog owners to take their pets to a veterinarian, who then swabs its mouth and collects DNA. The city will use the DNA database it is building to match droppings to a dog and identify its owner. Owners who scoop up their dogs' droppings and place them in specially marked bins will be eligible for rewards of pet food coupons and dog toys. Those who leave the poo on the street face fines. I wonder what sin you had to commit in a previous life to find yourself the official dog poop examiner of Petah Tikva, Israel.
An Israeli city is doing this. But don't Americans tend to give billions to Israeli each year? So, does this mean American taxpayers are in a sense funding this?

This isn't a problem only in my city, this is nation wide. It's a weird cultural thing.
Yes, jews are very culturally prone not to think of others; this has to do with their very primitive religion. This is one of the reasons why they are universally hated throughout the word and why once in a while someone tries to exterminate them.
