Dog owners must pay a $200 fee to have DNA Pet World Registry take the dog's genetic fingerprint. Doggie droppings found in condo common areas will be collected and mailed to the company. If the poop matches the pooch, the owners can be fined up to $1,000. "This is nuts," says one tenant. They will be testing all kinds of poop. Is this America?" (Palm Beach Post)

But can they tell the difference between a man turd and a dog turd?
Let's find out.

"This is nuts!"
Yeah, if the dog gets into some trail mix, you're probably right.

I'm with coog, I'd plant a personal turd out there just to throw them off.

I wish they would do that where I live.
I know that the overwhelming majority of dog owners have their pets poop in the various permitted areas on the property but there is frequently poop and the telltale brown spots where poop or urine was in an otherwise lush green lawn.
I only once said something to a guy who was allowing his dog to poop on a lawn right in front of a "no pets allowed here" sign. The guy didn't even acknowledge that I was standing there talking to him; he just stood there staring over my right shoulder. That was weird. If I had a phone camera then, I would have whipped it out.
We have 4 or 5 grassy areas identified as pets allowed and 2 or 3 w/ flower beds and trees where they are not.

In the elevators? Eeew.
Bunch of retired yankee assholes. Screw them.
Dipping into his wallet is the only way to get a yankee's attention. He'll bitch, he'll moan, he'll scream, he'll threaten -- but in the end he'll pick up the poop rather than give up one red cent.

Wouldn't servailance cameras be cheaper?
"I'd plant a personal turd out there just to throw them off."
I would plant a rubber one from the toy store and watch the fun when they try to take a sample !!

if people are allowing their pets to mess inside, they should lose their pets

That's what you get when you live in one of those Nazi enclaves called Homeowner Associations.

I'd plant dog dirt from outside the complex just to mess with their heads.

I would go to a dog park and collect all the non-condo poop I could find and then at 3AM just spread it everywhere! FU!
Besides they are just coping those aholes from New Hampshire from earlier this week.

Why not get some poop from here?

I bet they would wonder who had the elephant in their condo.

*wonders why Jim seems so obsessed with poop lately*......
Need me to send you some Ex-lax??? ;-)

We must understand that this is for the cleanliness of the condo. You choose to live here so you need to agree with the rules that they have.
