MADRID, Nov. 2 (Xinhua) -- Dog DNA is to become the latest weapon used to track down dog owners who fail to clear up the "mess" made by their dog after it has gone to the toilet in the street.
The town of Mislata in the Community of Valencia in the east of Spain on Wednesday published its plan entitled "They would do it if they could" to stop dog owners walking away leaving their pet's excrement in the street.
The town of just over 40,000 inhabitants has ordered all residents to take their dogs for mandatory blood samples by the end of the year. The DNA of the animals will then be extracted from the blood and registered in a council database.
Then whenever street cleaners discover dog-dirt left in the street, the DNA of the animal who left it can be extracted from the feces, matched with the DNA in the database and the owner of the offending animal fined 200 euros (around 222 U.S. dollars).
"To avoid unpleasant feces that some owners forget on the street, the city has launched a DNA analysis system that identifies droppings ... Street cleaning staff will be responsible for collecting the sample to be guarded by the local police and then analyzed in a laboratory," states the website for the Mislata Local Authority.
Mislata is the latest in a series of towns to attempt to deal with the problem of dog-dirt, with Colmenar Viejo, to the north of Madrid, paying a private detective to track down negligent owners, while the town of Brunete, which is also close to Madrid, opened a scheme which saw excrement mailed back to the dog owner's home.
Meanwhile Hernani in the Basque Region and the city of Tarragona, south of Barcelona, also operate DNA schemes to identify "culprits" who fail to clean up after their dogs.

A chronic disease, it has no permanent cure, but symptoms can be treated as they occur, either with drugs, dietary changes Cheap Willian Jersey , or through surgery. Many patients benefit from drug treatment, including steroids and medicines that reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system. Symptoms of the diseases, such as diarrhea and abdominal pain, tend to flare up after periods of remission, and may be controlled with anti-diarrhea medicines Cheap Victor Moses Jersey , antibiotics and painkillers. Muscle relaxants help to relieve mild to moderate diarrhea and abdominal cramps, while laxatives will help ease constipation. Very severe Crohn's disease is treated with a new intravenous drug called Infliximab. Patients suffering from very frequents bouts of diarrhea may develop anemia and require iron supplements. While patients are advised to stay positive and upbeat, some do tend to get depressed and antidepressants can help to a certain extent in such cases. Crohn's disease leads to complications like blockages in the intestine and abscesses, which may need surgical intervention. Surgery may be performed to remove a portion of the diseased bowel, or to drain an abscess Cheap Tiemoue Bakayoko Jersey , or even in some cases, to remove the entire colon. Surgery however is not a cure for the disease and efforts are made to restrict the amount of surgery to the minimum. Diet plays an important role in the treatment of Crohn茂驴陆s disease. Loss of appetite leads to a lack of proper nutrition. Patients must therefore ensure the intake of proteins, complex carbohydrates, oils such as Omega-3 fatty acids, and potassium-rich foods.Doctors also recommend alternative remedies like acupuncture to relieve the symptoms of Crohn茂驴陆s disease. Often the recurring symptoms cause stress Cheap Thibaut Courtois Jersey , and stress reduction methods such as meditation can be helpful. While opinions vary on the benefit of exercise, certain studies indicate significant improvement among patients who undertake mild exercise such as walking. Such initiatives help a patient feel physically and emotionally stronger and better able to cope with the disease.
