  Not all dog owners are considerate. Many towns and cities across the world face a mess of left-behind poop from pooches. A small town located about 20 miles away from Madrid, Spain, initiated a plan to teach 4)canine owners a lesson.
  The council utilized about 20 volunteers who scoured the streets, looking for humans who wouldn’t clean up after their dogs. The volunteers would then casually approach the pet owners and start a conversation in order to obtain the pooch’s name. An authority from the council explains the process stating“With the name of the dog and the breed it was possible to identify the owner from the registered pet database held in the town hall.” The volunteers would then pick up the dog feces and the package would be delivered by courier to the pet owner’s residence.
  The campaign ran for a total of one week back in February of this year. In just a few short months, the town has seen a 70% decrease in the amount of dog defecation left on public streets.
  不是所有的养狗人都那么为他人着想的。在世界各地,许多城镇和城市都要面对狗狗们随处留下的便便。在西班牙一个距离马德里20英里的小镇,最新提出一项计划,旨在给养狗人一个教训。
  当地的议会派出20名志愿者巡视大街,找找那些不为自己的狗清理粪便的主人。这些志愿者会不经意地上前与狗的主人谈话,以获取宠物狗的名字。议会的一名官员解释说明道,“知道了狗的名字和品种,就能从市政厅的已登记宠物信息库中找到主人的信息。”志愿者会把狗粪便拾起,然后打包,让快递送到狗主人的住处。
  该项计划在今年二月实行了整整一星期。仅仅几个月后,该小镇大街上狗粪便的数量就减少了70%。
