A resident in Herisau AR finds it “terrifying how many dog ​​turds are lying around in Herisau”. She posts on Facebook a sign she saw. Your post caused a stir in the Herisau Facebook community.

“Want to do yoga? Then start by slowly leaning forward and picking up your dog shit,” the sign reads. And: “Congratulations! You’ve learned the downward facing dog position.”

“Since the pandemic, many people have bought a dog who have no relationship with one and are not able to,” writes one user. Another user thinks that the dog poop should be collected, but the comparison with “sacred” yoga is stupid. «The way this is written, it’s a little condescending towards yoga. Namaste,” he writes.

Another resident in the comments is also horrified by the situation and told 20 minutes. “I always see dog poop in the same place, especially on Oberdorfstrasse, which often lies there for days,” she says. She gets approval for this comment, because two other users also noticed this on Oberdorfstrasse. ‘Probably all the same ruthless person. You would have to set up a camera, »says a user.

The problem is that they just lie around in the middle of the pavement and she often almost stepped in herself. “I’ve also seen people step in and everything was spread out on the pavement.” She doesn’t have any dogs herself and doesn’t understand why the heaps aren’t cleared away. ‘Anyone who owns a dog should have the decency to clean up the piles. It’s very inconsiderate and disgusting,” said the resident.

Johannes Wey, communications officer for the municipality of Herisau, commented on the dog poo for 20 minutes. “Of course, there is also this problem in Herisau, but we don’t have the feeling that it’s excessive. In most cases, the dog owners take care of it,” says Wey. “When you ask people to clean up their dog poo in such an original way, that’s not a bad thing,” Wey adds.

There are no legal regulations in Herisau AR, which means that leaving dog poop lying around does not result in a fine for the dog owner. The whole thing looks different since 2015 in the canton of Zug out. Anyone who leaves their dog’s piles there can be fined 100 francs.

Dog poop is also a well-known problem in Romanshorn TG. A Facebook user posts a sign from there that even threatens: “One day I’ll catch you! And then I don’t want to be in your shoes because that’s when your dog’s p*** and your face meet.”
