The big load

Categories

Poop is now officially the big topic in Spain...In Torrelodones, Spain they installed a giant inflatable poop in order to discourage dog owners from abandoning their pets' excrement in the streets.

 

The town of Torrelodones shared photos of the inflatable poop and encouraged residents to share photos of the massive message to dog owners with the hashtag #nomascacas as a way to promote this through social media.

That's the poop

My souces tell me that Torrelodones has about 6,000 dogs who can produce about 1,100 pounds of excrement every day. That's sounds like a load of crap but it's true.

 

The sign they stuck in this balloon says "This is one of the greatest obstacles to community spirit in our town. If you own a dog, please help us."

 

I wonder if this will stem the tide or just muck it up.

I guess poop is now popular. My kids love using the poop emoji.

My long ago trip to Amsterdam was marred by the poop on the sidewalk cooking in the sun and the gentle breezes that carried the smell to every part of the city. I vowed never to return and didn't.
