Poo For Thought !

A couple of days after reading one of the forward emails with the statement,

Once in an interview, the famous Ex-municipal commissioner of Bombay, Mr. Tinaikar , had a point to make. 'Rich people's dogs are walked on the streets to leave their affluent droppings all over the place,' he said. 'And then the same people turn around to criticize and blame the authorities for inefficiency and dirty pavements. What do they expect the officers to do? Go down with a broom every time their dog feels the pressure in his bowels? In America every dog owner has to clean up after his pet has done the job. Same in Japan. Will the Indian citizen do that here?'

I visited one of the parks in Singapore which had one of these sign boards, which confirms the statement made by Mr.Tinaikar. Dog owners of India, please keep an eye on your dogs. On a serious note, cleaning up your dog's poo is a mandate overseas, well if you dont clean it up you will have your lesson learnt and keep a keen eye on your dog's back everytime you take it to the street. But why is that not a case in India, dog owners just gives a whatever the dog poo deserves. No One can accuse me of this though, i was never allowed to own a dog at any stage of my life..
