Scoop the poop or pay the price
Picture it: You're running late to work, but Fluffy's got to go. You take him out for a quick bathroom break, and instead of plastic-bagging the evidence, you look around and then take off, leaving the offending waste behind. If you're in Brooklyn, this ain't gonna fly: the Sanitation Department's Canine Task Force (yes, one exists) is cracking down on lazy dog owners by enforcing the "pooper scooper" law. This is partly a result from the 3,000 complaints the city received last year about dog waste.
And the fine might go up, too: now $100, it could be $250 if the Governor signs a new bill to increase it.
Why does this all matter? Besides being really sucky to step in, unscooped poop washes into our water system, making it bacteria central.
So whether you live in Brooklyn or not, remember to scoop it - preferably into an eco-friendly bag, and after you've frozen it.
