Dog Walkers ‘Pooper Scooper’ Law Enforcement

Submitted by ub on

This one is a disgusting bit of business, but it needs to be addressed, as it is becoming a curb hazard, with frustrations of dog leavings on the rise.

On our sidewalks, inside our parks, at curbs and in plain sight, dog poo is being left in increasing amounts, lying in wait for an unlucky individual to step on.

Most folks we have spoken with say they're tired of this crap. They report finding these droppings on our streets and being forced to step around this nasty stuff. Most agree - If you cant pick up after your own pet, then you should not have a pet.

Media Matters

Submitted by ub on

Social media continually gets stranger by the day. Some sites and apps are offering fake friends for funds. Others are offering an opportunity to produce your death announcement, which will be held for release until you die.

One Website offers to rent a mate willing to be in a relationship with you for a fee. They will be your online friend for a few days, just to make someone else jealous.
