To quote the BBC: <br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Torrelodones, a municipality just outside the capital Madrid, is 2,400 euros ($2,726; £1,885) out of pocket after the three-metre high inflatable bought as part of a campaign to encourage pet-lovers to pick up after their dogs went missing, </span><a class="story-body__link-external" href="http://elpais.com/elpais/2016/06/08/inenglish/1465393553_342072.html"><span style="font-family: inherit;">El Pais newspaper reports</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">. The bizarre inflatable disappeared after it had been packed away in its carry-case and the police are now on the trail of the 30 kilogramme dog poop, town officials say. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Speaking to the </span><a class="story-body__link-external" href="http://www.abc.es/espana/madrid/municipios/abci-ayuntamiento-torrelodones-denuncia-robo-caca-gigante-201606081122_noticia.html"><span style="font-family: inherit;">ABC newspaper</span></a><span style="font-family: inherit;">, town councillor Angel Guirao said staff were shocked and perplexed by the theft, and a replacement excrement was already on order because "we know that the campaign has been a great success".</span> </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I think the local authority missed a trick here. Why pay for a replacement? Why not just scour the streets of the UK. The UK's streets have much to offer by way of replacement excrement. Come on, Spain, get it before you need a visa!</div>

Many thanks are due to our two most recently recruited South West Operatives, "A" and "B", for this tremendous contribution!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
St Agnes in Cornwall has featured on this blog many times but it seems that, from an excrement perspective, it just flows and flows! This truly magnificent example was detected on the North Cliffs of St Agnes. I am impressed with the care taken to capture the relevant items from three different perspectives to give the reader a fuller picture regarding location and context.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's all been said about St Agnes village, now we can confidently report that the cliffs have come out in sympathy as well. We are lucky that this isn't near the edge. Slip sliding off the cliff would not be funny!</div>

St Agnes has featured on this blog before. Just along the coast from <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St_Agnes,_Cornwall" target="_blank">St Agnes</a> lies the village of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perranporth" target="_blank">Perranporth</a>. Both are idyllic, Cornish coastal villages. Both are absolutely heaving!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the BBC website advises us: </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="story-body__introduction" style="text-align: justify;">
A man who refused to clean up his dog's mess on a beach has been ordered to pay almost £2,000.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kevin Watch, 68, failed to clear up after his dog at Perranporth on the north coast of Cornwall and refused to pick up the mess when challenged.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He also refused to give his name and address, but the dog warden who witnessed the offence tracked him down.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Truro Magistrates ordered him to pay an £800 fine with £1,000 costs and an £80 victim surcharge.</div>
<h2 class="story-body__crosshead" style="text-align: justify;">
'Blighted'</h2>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cornwall Council, which brought the prosecution, said the case "sent a clear message" to dog owners.</div>
<div aria-hidden="true" class="bbccom_advert" style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the council learned the man's identity, he was issued with an £80 fixed penalty notice which was not paid and the matter went to court.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Watch, of Hendrawna Lane, Bolingey, pleaded not guilty to one count of being in charge of a dog and failing to remove faeces.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following the case, heard on Wednesday, Allan Hampshire, head of public protection at Cornwall Council, said dog fouling "blighted" lives of residents. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
He said: "This fine sends a clear message to the small minority of irresponsible dog owners that if you don't clear up after you dog, the courts will fine you accordingly."</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We thank the BBC for this report but we might have to take issue with the observation regarding the <strong><u>minority</u></strong> of irresponsible dog owners.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have just been to St Agnes for a mere 4 days. Below you will see pictorial evidence of what I found the length and breadth of the village:</div>

The words to "Slip Slidin' Away" ring in my head. I went to my home town and I certainly had plenty of fear but not of unrequited love but rather the state of my shoes!</div>

To some people, moles are garden wreckers. To me, they are living creatures, deserving of respect. It would even appear that their habit of creating molehills is not entirely negative! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It being Christmas day, I ventured out for a walk. I came across this molehill, which had clearly been used by a passing dog. While I admire this ingenuity, I can only hope that the mole doesn't seek to obtain fresh air at this particular point.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
A striking act of Festive fouling!</div>

International Operative "AN" has been at it again. This time, he ventured to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong" target="_blank">Hong Kong</a>, where there are many issues to concern the citizens, e.g. the fragile democracy post unification.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Putting all such issues aside, Operative "AN" was struck by the notice shown below. If nothing else, it shows that the prohibition is on fouling "by faeces", leaving dogs free to throw up at will without fear of retribution. I applaud such thinking!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dogs are even advised regarding where they can foul! The picture below shows just such an area. I understand the temperature is high in Hong Kong. I imagine that, on a bad/good day, the atmosphere by this reserved area would be a little high also! </div>

We thank South East and international operative "Lionel" for this contribution. It is simple and quick. He recently had occasion to visit Nice in France. The South of France is known for many things, now dog fouling. France has featured before on this blog, mainly around the Paris area. It's good to see that the whole country is following suit.</div>

The following video demonstrates very clearly that there is such a thing as poetic justice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all like to play with our animals and, sometimes, the game can get out of hand and they can get a little scared. Scaring an animal isn't funny, as these dog owners discovered to their cost!</div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Andrew Hawes (pictured above) has taken the battle to a completely new level. Now known as "The Turdinator", Andrew dresses in camouflage and hides behind hedges in Leiston in Suffolk, filming offenders, who fail to clear up! <br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As "The Sun" explains; His original plan was to leap out from the bushes to confront errant dog owners, threatening to publish their photo online if they did not clean up after their animals. Now he says cops have advised him to stay hidden and they will prosecute offenders using his footage. He said: “The police say it is not illegal for me to do this — it’s just like having a CCTV camera — and they will look at any evidence I give them and may issue an £80 on-the-spot fine. My camouflage is so good, they won’t see me. I’m very discreet. People might think it’s a bit strange but all my family and friends think it’s great.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I don't know whether to congratulate Andrew or get him onto a calm living course (see picture above!)! That said, I feel we can say with justification "All hail Andrew, the dog mess vigilante. Respect!".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>

As his fame spreads, the story has even reached Hollywood!<br />

We thank South West Operative "ML" for again highlighting the good work of the <a href="http://www.westbriton.co.uk/" target="_blank">West Briton</a> in combating the issue of dog fouling.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This time, we have the story of <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perranporth" target="_blank">Perranporth</a> mother, Zoe McEwen, who was so enthused by signs of the type shown below that she launched a fundraising page to purchase 10 of them. Instantly, she smashed through her £100 target!</div>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.westbriton.co.uk/images/localworld/ugc-images/276391/Article/images/27508872/10611375.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.westbriton.co.uk/images/localworld/ugc-images/276391/Article/images/27508872/10611375.jpg" height="428" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If council approval is obtained, these signs will be all over Perranporth. I can't say it better than the article, so please read it <a href="http://www.westbriton.co.uk/Perranporth-mum-s-online-fundraiser-s-thing-dog/story-27508872-detail/story.html#1" target="_blank">here</a>. Suffice it to say, I don't think 1,000 signs in neighbouring St Agnes would have the slightest impact so good luck with this initiative!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
While highlighting the issue of signs, we would like to congratulate Thomas and Barnaby from Year 3 at <a href="http://www.seabrookprimaryschool.co.uk/" target="_blank">Seabrook School</a> for producing these two very fine examples. It is no coincidence that, whenever I think of my primary school and especially when I think of the staff, I, too, picture dog excrement!</div>

Of late, news on the red rubber band situation has been overshadowed by the blight of dog fouling. we are, therefore, grateful to South West Operative 'ML' for bringing the views of Fiona Shenton to our attention. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Fiona lives at <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shortlanesend_and_Allet" target="_blank">Shortlanesend</a>, where, it appears, the issue of <strong><u>buff</u></strong> rubber bands has exploded onto the scene. Fiona's letter to the <a href="http://www.westernmorningnews.co.uk/" target="_blank">Western Morning News</a> (below) speaks for itself.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7vnpw_NyUTIYUT4nrQeFeB6yPXoB8qKmsNBC99p6QNoLAN8i8WFc6lf3HGAAFxJq3FdrRs0bLzjZ-jjQqR_nvXlTuxnuL6aNNlDy2zUiSP-zK0du-_BvM0jPAr1beUg5Olgo2FwXkc6U/s1600/WMN+Dog+Fouling.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img alt="" border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj7vnpw_NyUTIYUT4nrQeFeB6yPXoB8qKmsNBC99p6QNoLAN8i8WFc6lf3HGAAFxJq3FdrRs0bLzjZ-jjQqR_nvXlTuxnuL6aNNlDy2zUiSP-zK0du-_BvM0jPAr1beUg5Olgo2FwXkc6U/s640/WMN+Dog+Fouling.jpg" title="Let them have it, Fiona!" width="274" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you have ever been to Shortlanesend, you will understand that not much happens there. There is the odd, aggressive daffodil but that is easily managed. It is, therefore, quite revolutionary for Fiona to suggest that the offending items are returned through pillar boxes. This is the kind of forward thinking so lacking in Cornwall!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fiona, we are with you! Fill those pillar boxes!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This time, he brings us some good news. Florida appears to be ahead of the UK as regards the provision of attractive dog waste facilities. He has provided us with a picture of a bin that is a veritable work of art! See it below.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Now here at Dog Fouling and Red Rubber Bands HQ we we do not judge! That said, in the UK, this bin wouldn't see November 6! Agent AN, get back there on July 5 for a true comparison!</div>

I sat and watched the Eurovision Song Contest recently and was so disappointed when the UK failed (yet again) to get off the bottom 5 with their catchy 1920's single, "Still in love with you" by Electro Velvet. But it was only while I listened to it again did it suddenly twig where I've heard it before ...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Listen to Electro Velvet first and then listen to Anthony Lee and The Plastic Palm Quartet sing, "Dog shit on my shoe". Think they sound similar ?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe Electro Velvet should have sung about dog shit which would have appealed to the European audience who obviously don't know a good song when they hear it! :-)</div>

Big Brother has arrived at <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burnaby" target="_blank">Burnaby</a> in British Columbia. Residents of an apartment block have been ordered to deliver samples of their dogs' excrement to assist in identifying a repeat non-clearing offender.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I understand where the management company is coming from but this does seem a step too far. That said, I advise all the residents to comply by posting bag after bag to the management company. Let's see who cracks first!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Residents, go to it! Actually, no, don't, I momentarily forgot that we do not advocate law breaking. Dash it!</div>

I love the Irish. When they have something to say, they just come out and say it, regardless how controversial it may seem. Take the latest public information film released by Newry & Mourne District Council in Northern Ireland.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Determined to use shock tactics to illustrate the serious health risk from dog fouling, the council has released this innovative short film of a dog walker defecating outside the town hall instead of his dog. The film has been panned by the public and the media alike, but council leaders are unrepentant saying they are "very positive" at the storm it has caused and "welcome the wider debate on dog fouling it has stimulated".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Dog fouling, as we have discussed before, crosses all barriers of class and race. The Woodfield Country Club in Boca Raton boasts 1,300 homes costing from $300,000 into the millions. One cannot imagine it being awash with faeces!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/03/25/03/26F7631800000578-3010428-image-a-48_1427253074622.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2015/03/25/03/26F7631800000578-3010428-image-a-48_1427253074622.jpg" height="231" width="400" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Appearances can, however, be deceptive! Amy Goldberg, pictured above, alleges that her 67 year old neighbour allowed her dog to foul the area without clearing up.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Allegedly, Amy could take no more and, allegedly, smeared said faeces over her neighbour's arms and face. This, of course, would be the only logical response under the circumstances.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We stress that Amy denies the allegations claiming she threw said faeces at her neighbour. Here at Dog Fouling and Red Rubber Bands HQ, we say "innocent until proven guilty".</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is, however, a clear moral to this story, namely; "don't mess with Amy!"</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We thank North American and South England Operative AN for bringing this to our attaention.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We thank the Mail Online, whose full report of the alleged incident can be read <a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-3010428/Boca-Raton-woman-Amy-Goldberg-accused-smearing-dog-poop-neighbor.html" target="_blank">here</a>.</div>

<a href="http://www.bexley.gov.uk/index.aspx?articleid=8729" target="_blank">Crayford Town Hall has recently been renovated.</a> It was, therefore, with uplifted spirits that North Kent Operative "DN" paid a visit to said building. What she found would turn the stomach of a hardened campaigner!<br />
<br />
I can't really work out exactly what has gone on here. Acting on the assumption that this was produced by one dog, I have to say that I am torn between absolute disgust and total respect!<br />
<br />
I can only hope that Operative "DN" was not responsible for the spreading of the faeces. This would have been traumatic and would, without any doubt, have led to nightmares, not to mention the bill for cleaning the carpet.<br />

I think we have featured this one before but the video is no longer available.</div>
<div align="justify">
</div>
<div align="justify">
We therefore, again, thanks International Operative "AN" for digging this one out.</div>
<div align="justify">
</div>

Not being from the US, I don't know much about baseball. Clearly neither does this little dog. In any event, it saw grass, it saw a toilet! Simple!<br />

Today, thanks to the ever active nose of Operative "AN", we are paying tribute to Maurice Franklin, 45, of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wilkes-Barre,_Pennsylvania" target="_blank">Wilkes-Barre, PA, USA</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having allegedly had a few drinks, Maurice brought himself to the attention of the local police. Understandably, they approached him.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maurice then, allegedly, threw himself to the ground and rolled in dog faeces. He then, allegedly, presented the police with something of a unique legal point, namely that they couldn't arrest him because he was covered in sh*t.! It didn't work!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maurice, we salute your innovative use of uncleared dog waste. Perhaps all lawyers' offices should have a large pile in the corner?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If this goes to court, I hope the press attends and that Maurice continues a similar line of defence. I understand courts react well to liquid horse dung. Go to it, Maurice!</div>

I think this one is a cracker!</div>
<div align="justify">
</div>
<div align="justify">
I can hear so many influences here, Bob Dylan, the Beatles and even a hint of Oasis. It also has a dreamy, Seventies quality about it.</div>
<div align="justify">
</div>
<div align="justify">
Suffice it to say, it took me back to my village in Cornwall in the seventies, i.e. absolutely awash as, indeed, it is today!<br />
