Re: Omg ott! DNA for dogs
I like this idea.
NYU Student Wants to Convert Dog Poop into Fuel - DNAinfo.com
People could soon be running out in the streets with a bucket. To pick up any dog's plop-plops.
Even if a passing pooch just had a strained look on it's face, and was only thinking about laying a steaming, golden, dog egg.

Re: Omg ott! DNA for dogs
The EU has invested a load of money in methane digesters for the waste from farming -ie what cows produce - they have unfortunately been found not to be as good in practise as in theory as the waste alone is not enough to fuel them. I have visited several and the idea is great as they produce and sell electricity and the "waste" loses it's smell -shame they are not a financially viable option.

Sat in my trailer park the other day, I happened to read on one of those conspiracy website that cars can run on fresh air.
But the world's secret elite rulers are keeping it all hush-hush.
To apparently make more money, and see the breakdown of this planet's current governing bodies.
Guess we'll just have to wait and see if the Rothschilds start investing heavily in pooper-scoopers.

Re: Omg ott! DNA for dogs
What do they say?
About mud sticking?
Or in this case, dog dirt.
Even David Icke's talking about Hyndburn's very own, Cllr. Canine Mess.
Dog **** Could be Subjected to DNA Testing Under Plans Being Considered by a Council - David Icke Website
Careless talk, even off-the-cuff guff, costs lives...and risks losing votes.
Nutty David Icke!
Woof, woof.

Do you? I think your just being short sighted. The costs I posted are cheap and easily coverable by fines to the dog owner. What we need is a government that is not as short sighted as you obviously are.

You'd probably find Cherie Blair, being funded by the tax payer via Legal Aid, taking on cases, because peoples' Human Rights were infringed, because they didn't want DNA samples taken from their much loved property.
Of course, they could always take their cases to the European Courts of Justice.
As the backing of the European Union would be needed, before anything like this was introduced.
After all, we are Hyndburn International.

We have laws in place.
How many people are fined in Hyndburn now, for not cleaning up their dog's mess?

I would think the government a few things a little more pressing that talking about dog crap, in parliament, it's not being short sighted its looking at thing logically, DNA testing every dog in Hyndburn and somebody going round scooping up dog droppings, well when you think about it is laughable, if they fine irresponsible dog owners £5k for the first offence, I think these people would think twice about not cleaning up after their little pooch

They've been a hot topic on The Archers for some time - but I don't suppose you can get that in Italy...

Never really followed the Archers Sue -but as for methane digesters they are a highly contentious subject.
To keep them going you don't just need the "Poop" that has been scooped. They end up having to top them up with high quality maize which is at a premium and it just isn't financially viable. As an alternative, in N. Europe they mince up the remains of animals that die on farms and feed that in ...not a nice reality and will probably have the animal rights folk up in arms -but that is he reality of this particular science. The digesters cost millions to set up (many of which come from EU grants to agriculture) and run so ...at the end of the day they are not a viable "ecological" option for now at least.

Well you've got to get rid of dead animals somehow, whether the animal rights people like it or not.
We used to take our dead goats to the hunt kennels to be fed to the hungry pack of hounds...
