Tel Aviv wants to try a new way of encouraging people to pick up after their pet — a DNA database.
Dog owners in the city may soon have to register their pet's DNA in a database when applying for a dog license. If officials find waste left behind on the street, they can test it for DNA and search the database to find the owner, who will then be fined. The new law still needs to be approved by Israel's Interior Ministry.
City official Eytan Schwartz told Euronews Next that out of 40,000 dog owners, only a small number don't pick up their pet's waste. But the city still picks up 500 kilograms of dog waste every month, and he said that 2% of dog owners are ruining the city for other people.
Tel Aviv has a lot of dogs, with about one in every 11 residents owning one. And in 2020, there was an increase in the number of complaints about dog waste being left behind by owners.
The city has tried to fix the problem before. In April 2021, it started a public awareness campaign asking residents to pick up after their pets.
Tel Aviv isn't the first place to try a DNA database to solve this problem. Most large apartment buildings in Utah already ask people to give their dog's or cat's DNA before renting an apartment. According to The Salt Lake Tribune, some residents have been fined up to $150 for not picking up their pet's waste.
🌏Summary
特拉維夫想要嘗試一種新方式,來鼓勵民眾撿拾他們寵物的大便,那就是DNA數據庫。這個城市的狗飼主,在申請狗證照的時候,可能很快就得將他們寵物的DNA註冊在數據庫裡。 如果官員發現街道上有排泄物,他們可能會拿來驗DNA,並搜尋數據庫找出飼主,處以罰款。 這項新法規仍需要經過以色列內政部的核可。市政府官員向媒體表示,4萬名狗飼主中,只有少數的人不會撿拾他們寵物的大便。 不過該城市每個月清理的狗大便仍有500公斤之多,他表示,2%狗飼主正在替其他人破壞這座城市。
