Funny, but Gross

City uses DNA to fight dog poop:

"The city will use the DNA database it is building to match faeces to a registered dog and identify its owner.
Owners who scoop up their dogs' droppings and place them in specially marked bins on Petah Tikva's streets will be eligible for rewards of pet food coupons and dog toys.
But droppings found underfoot in the street and matched through the DNA database to a registered pet could earn its owner a municipal fine."

Okay you would think this was happening over here in the US ... after all, our city officials love to find new ways of spending our tax dollars .... but it is actually happening in Israel.

but don't laugh too hard ... you know if it seems to be working it will be coming to a US town near you.
