[NAGDU] Apartment Complex- Picking up poop

[Janice Toothman]

Israel does this because the problem is so great with people not picking 
up after there dogs that they have required all dog owners to have their 
dogs DNA on file so that when a "pile" left by a dog and its owner can 
properly be identified unless it is from a stray dog.  However, I have 
no statistics on the rates of compliance on dog owners either service 
dog or pet owners.

FYI:  Israel has many blind programs due to many solders and civilians 
blinded in wars/terrorist attacks.
