Residents use DNA testing to get the scoop on poopers

USA: Frustrated with dog owners who refuse to clean up after their pets, an increasing number of apartments in Seattle are opting to use DNA testing to identify the culprits.

The Seattle Times reports that a company called BioPet Vet Lab from Knoxville, Tennessee, is providing its PooPrints testing kits to 26 apartment and condo complexes and homeowners associations in the region.

Erin Atkinson, property manager at Potala Village Apartments in Everett said the messes are all over. “There was poop inside the elevators, in the carpeted hallways, up on the roof. They’re lazy, I guess.”
