Pier is going to the dogs

Perhaps we should look to other countries for alternative solutions for managing our water and waste services? My sister told me how it was done in India in the 1970s (she was there for 10 months). Pigs on the streets ate the organic human waste they found.

Pier is going to the dogs

I’m not sure whether to admire or be appalled by such a laissez-faire approach to pooping in public and its disposal. But I reckon we should get some pigs for Dún Laoghaire pier, as there is still a surfeit of dog walkers who won’t pick up.

Furthermore, this underfoot problem is exacerbated by the fact that the lucky dogs are incredibly well-fed in this affluent borough.
