This is a poster from the Cornwall Council telling residents to "Scoop the poop..." as part of their Be a responsible dog owner campaign 2013. Cleaning up after your dog is a serious issue in the UK, and dog fouling seems to be a campaign issue in elections for town and county officials. The website describes the material they distribute as "hard hitting," but I still think the Blackburn with Darwen pamphlet is the most poignant.

This is exactly the campaign I was hoping for. I've been "tolerating" those irresponsible dog owners who have been leaving doggie excrement all over the snow because of the "Polar Vortex"__ but now that the weather is milder and Spring is almost here it is inexcusable for people to leave their dog's poop behind. Their hands will no longer freeze as they pick up after their dogs.
