Bright Orange Dog Poo

Community wardens in Weston-super-Mare, affectionately known as “dogshit police”, have started an awareness campaign which involves colouring dog excrement bright orange.

The “You’ve Been Tangpooed” campaign aims to highlight the dangers of rubbing dog crap in your eyes. Every year over 100 people go blind from toxicariasis, a parasitic infection that’s caught when people play with dog mess.

The wardens who are working on a number of sink estates in Weston have the power to give people on the spot fines if they allow their dogs to foul the area with their dirt. As a warning the wardens are patrolling the area and spray painting any shit they find bright orange, rather than picking it up and protecting children.

If any child is somehow compelled to play with a dog turd, surely a bright orange one will be far more enticing? And obviously easier to spot.
