message: QUOTING THE ARTICLE:
"The situation is particularly dire in Germany, where an estimated 1400 tonnes of feces are deposited daily on public property. A citizen commission (2005) overwhelmingly recommended a plan that would break even at about seven months. DNA samples would be required when pet licenses come up for renewal. Within a year, a database of some 12,500 registration-required canine residents would be available to sanitation workers with sample-test kits."
1400 tonnes per day divided by 12,500 dogs works out to 224 pounds per dog per day!
Are German dogs VERY big, or is there something wrong in the quoted paragaph?

thread_title:  please revise 

message: Pooper-Scooper also refers to a professional provider or organization that scoops dog poop for hire. Using a large dust pan or bucket, plus a rake or shovel, a pooper-scooper travels from yard to yard scooping dog poop for a weekly, bi-weekly or monthly fee. Similar to a landscaping, pool cleaning, tree trimming or housekeeping service, pooper-scoopers offer a routine service for customers who are unable to scoop their own dog's poop due to physical or time limitations, health risks, or other reasons for hiring a professional to scoop on their behalf. Pooper-scoopers also often offer sanitizing, disinfecting and deodorizing services, plus cat litter exchange services and other related pet waste clean up and removal services. 
Pooper-scoopers have national associations, including the Association of Professional Animal Waste Specialists (aPaws.org), that provide annual association conferences, association member benefits, and networking.
Thousands of independent pooper-scoopers, along with nationwide franchises including Pet Butler (petbutler.com), Doody Calls (doodycalls.com), Poop 911 (poop911.com). Nationwide pooper-scooper locator services are also available from aPaws.org and Pooper-Scooper (pooper-scooper.com.

message: I see this page is semi-protected so I would like to have consensus before making this proposed edit:
The Village of Great Neck Estates was one of the earliest communities to enact a local ordinance, in 1975, requiring residents to remove pollution on private and public property caused by dogs. Murray Seeman, Jay S. Goodman and Howard Zelikow, advocated in the face of heated opposition.

In 1978, New York State passed the Pooper-Scooper Law. It was so controversial that Mayor Koch needed the New York State legislature to pass it, after being unable to convince the New York City Council. The New York Times called actress and consumer advocate Fran Lee "New York's foremost fighter against dog dirt".

October 20, 1978, KQED San Francisco news footage featured scenes from a Harvey Milk press conference in Duboce Park in which he discussed the city's new "pooper scooper law" with a how-to demonstration.

Quote:
“If you’ve ever stepped in dog doo, you know how important it is to enforce the canine waste law,” said former NYC Mayor Ed Koch in a statement that marked the 25th anniversary of the law. “New Yorkers overwhelmingly do their duty and self-enforce. Those who don’t are not fit to call friend.”
