Pink Dog Poo - Poop Scoop Awareness Campaign
Poop Scoop Awareness Campaign

Pink doggy doo is being spotted on streets in the UK thanks to a bizarre new poop scoop awareness campaign.

Oak Tree Heath nature reserve in Nottinghamshire has unleashed activists with pink spray paint, asking them to tint any dog droppings they come across to help draw attention to the mess for National Poop Scoop week. Not only is it intended to shame owners but, strangely, it’s supposed to help prevent pedestrians from stepping in it.

If they’re willing to bend down and paint the poo pink, they may as well just scoop the excrement themselves to completely eliminate people from ruining their shoes.

The council said the dye was biodegradable. Councillor Eddie Smith, who is in charge of the environment at the council, said: 'Although dog owners face a £50 fine for not picking up their animal's waste, as a district council we would much rather the environment was kept clear in the first place. 'If this scheme helps to combat the problem, it is appropriate that we should support it.' (metro)
