>>They shouldn’t have to, should they?

No, they shouldn’t. But this is typical of how we do things in this country. Instead of correcting a person on the spot, we wait and mail them an admonition.

When you have a nation of rules instead of virtues, everything turns into a game of seeing what you can get away with.

People who don’t clean up after their dogs are selfish jerks.

People who mail poop to people are cowardly punks.

Both need a kick in the ass.

This is in Spain, not here. Not to say that can't happen in the future in the US but sending feces in the mail here would be illegal.

And of course, none of this corrects the problems associated with unregistered dogs. Only the registered dog owners can have this happen.

Resist registration. No doubt they will move on to confiscation next.

You have summed up in a few words something I have previously tried to articulate with much less success. Thank you!

We have a boat in a huge marina in Ventura. Many of the live aboards own dogs. There are large patches of grass at the front of the marina every patch has a pole with the poo bags attached to them. You will never ever find poo on the grass. Every single person cleans up immediately after their dog.
At my home people who walk their dogs let them poo in my front lawn and never clean it up.
The difference amazes me.
