Yes it's really the Amish.

Second there is an easier way to handle this. Change the Amish a "City Slicker" tax that pays for street sweeper to run and and down the streets and clean up after the horses and other debris.

If they were homeless horses it would be OK.

“They believe the bags violate their community’s religious standards.”

Jail time may also violate their religious standards.

But their standards may have to change.

If everybody in the community uses the bags, it’s not “putting on airs”.

Put diapers on them race horses.

People could bet on which one fills the diaper first.

The amount of horseshit caused by these animals pales in comparison to the amount of bullshit generated by politicians every day.

Horses eat grass, so they defecate recycled vegetation.

It rains in Kentucky so it washes away.

What is the problem?

They are independent, religious, self-reliant people and must be punished.

Let’s get this straight.

Swartzentruber Amish reject technology such as motor vehicles and horse diapers, but do not reject technology such as a website to sell their quilts.

In San Francisco they would have had the horse manure bronzed and declared a city holiday.

It is ORGANIC!

It is BIODEGRADABLE!

It is RECYCLABLE!

It is CARBON-NEUTRAL!

It is GLUTEN-FREE!

etc, etc, etc.....

(and it does not infringe on the MSM market for Bovine excrement)

The defendants belong to a conservative sect that rejects motor vehicles and most modern technology and travel by horse-drawn buggies. They believe the bags violate their community's religious standards.

Nonsense.

It's not an issue of morality. It's an issue of courtesy.

There should be no law to require people to clean up after their animals. They should be doing as a matter of fact.
