I am highly gemused to see that Nanny intends to expand her ever growing network of databases.
This time she intends to create one containing dog shit.
Yes, you did read that correctly!
Nanny's chums from the Isle of Wight Council want to create a database containing the DNA taken from dog shit.
For why?
Seemingly this will be used to prosecute dog owners who allow their mutts to befoul (there's a good word!) the pavements.
David Pugh, leader of the Isle of Wight Council, as per the Telegraph told a council meeting:
"We could test samples against the database and trace it to the dog's owner. I imagine we would see an immediate cessation to the problem.
It's something we would have to pilot, and I'm not wishing to make policy on the hoof."
Owners must give consent for the DNA sample to be taken from their pet, but it can them remain on the database for the rest of their life.
Well, given that permission is required first, I don't see this as getting anywhere.
I would also ask that, given that we are facing years of austerity and cuts, where exactly is the money coming from to fund this?
Barking mad!
