Resident complaints have been trickling in to the Daily Press newsroom for months about dog owners’ blatant disregard for their neighborhood and the environment. The crime they are apparently committing is that they fail to pick up their pet’s poop.
The problem is especially foul smelling for resident north of Wilshire Boulevard, where people are tip toeing around piles while taking their afternoon strolls.
So this week, Q-Line wants to know: “What can be done about the poop problem here? If pet owners aren’t going to pick it up how should City Hall deal with it?”
Call (310) 285-8106 with your response before Thursday at 5 p.m. We’ll print them in Friday’s paper. Please limit your comments to a minute or less. It might help to think first about the wording of your response.
