Residents of one Toronto neighbourhood are fed up with irresponsible dog owners leaving mounds of dookie on sidewalks and in public parks, so much so that they've even taken to installing signs and free poop bags around the community.
One local explained on Facebook,"I've put up some poo bags around the underpass and Rolling Mills St. towards Eastern... hope this will help the lazys ."Local resident Anne-Marie Aikins, who re-shared some of the images on X, tells blogTO that"Canary District, Corktown and Leslieville have always been my home since moving to Toronto nearly 30 years ago."
Aikins says that it's pretty standard in her condo building to share elevator rides with at least one or two dogs. As for the creative signage and little baggies deployed around the community, Aikins says that she is"not surprised my neighbours are taking this type of creative activism. And I hope it's effective.","every owner of a dog shall immediately remove excrement left by the dog on property anywhere within the city other than the property of the owner," reads Chapter 349 of the Toronto Municipal Code.
