Pick it up!

New sign today, with accompanying 'not for your dog bags'.

Bizarre as life is, the WT Council have a policy on what to do when your dog drops in public (see below), but no rules or recommendations for 'people's pooh.' Here at Pooh Corner, we have taken the initiative to provide bags (and gloves) to help you in those embarrassing moments when you are just tou-louse to hold on!

Why?

Because we love our river.......

We know  all that drops on to 'pooh corner' seeps into the water.....

and we are still waiting for WTC to build a public toilet....

....................................Where do you think it should go?

Cleaning Up When your dog is in a public place you are always required to clean up after it. Dog faeces are unpleasant and damage the environment. Cleaning up can be done simply and easily with the aid of a scooper or plastic bag and placing the faeces into the nearest rubbish bin. This does not apply to a guide dog that is accompanying a wholly or partially blind person. Failure to clean up after your dog can result in a fine of up to $300. Rain dissolves dog faeces and they are washed into our waterways. Marine plant and animal life are affected by this pollution. Australian beaches are closed for several days after rain because of this type of pollution. Dog faeces contain E-coli bacteria, which can cause ongoing illness in people http://www.wtc.tas.gov.au/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=81   Postal Address PO Box 59 Beaconsfield Tas 7270 Email: wtc@wtc.tas.gov.au

Don wishes to acknowledge his good mate T.Lautrec who was caught with his pants down several times- and is still paying for it- we have more photos yet!
