Poo.

I've mentioned before that I've problems with dogs doing their business on my front lawn, leaving me to deal with it, so I was interested when I saw a story of a scheme in Mansfield to address the problem of dog owners who fail to clean up after their pets. But apparently their solution is to "shame" owners by spraying the dog-mess pink. Am I missing something? Just what is this supposed to achieve? If the owner is still around, then the obvious answer is to confront them directly, and if they are not, then how will they be shamed? Don't get it.
