‘Barking Mad’ council event bids to change dog fouling mindset in Cork

Cork County Council is teaming up with a village to host a family fun day aimed at keeping footpaths free from dog fouling.

The council’s environmental awareness and research group has organised ‘Gone Barking Mad’, which takes place in Castlelyons this Sunday, May 31.

Dog poop is not only a health hazard to young children, but an annoyance to the users of wheelchairs, buggies, white canes, and walking aids.
