Britain’s first dog poo crack team squad hit the streets of London
Meet the Dog Squad. A 22-man crack team unit employed to clean up the streets of London by targeting dog walkers who fall foul of pooper scoop laws.
Irresponsible dog walkers will be hounded by the Dog Squad (Picture: Islington Council)The anti-poo wardens have been introduced by Islington Council in north London in an attempt to catch repeated dog foul offenders.
Members of the public are also being encouraged to ‘shop a dropper’ through a newly set-up hotline.
Islington Council’s zero tolerance approach will see the Dog Squad patrol dog foul hot spots, issuing £80 fines to irresponsible dog owners.
The undercover poo patrol, thought to be the largest dog enforcement team of its kind in Britain, started its work earlier this month.
Dog Squad: Councillor Paul Smith with his anti-poop wardens (Picture: Islington Council)Islington Councillor Paul Smith said: ‘Residents are sick of dog mess, and we’re taking strong action against irresponsible owners.
‘Dog-fouling is anti-social and there’s no excuse. There will be zero tolerance for those who refuse to do the right thing. Our Dog Squad is targeting hot spots, and there will be fines and court action for anyone caught letting their dog foul our community.’
Poo crimes and updates on penalties and patrols will be also be reported by the team on Twitter with the hash tag #thedogsquad.
However, opposition Liberal Democrat councillor Greg Foxsmith has ridiculed the newly-introduced plans.
‘Never in the history of street cleaning has so much been paid by so many for poo,’ he said.
‘In a few weeks’ time, when the money has been squandered and the contract is over, the streets of Islington will once again be paved with dog mess.’

Terrified groom gets tricked by friends into stag party ‘bungee jump’
A mischievous group of French pranksters kept up the stag party tradition in spectacular style after convincing one blindfolded groom he was about to take a 50ft leap of faith as he stood next to a waist-deep duck pond.
The unsuspecting groom stands by the edge of the lake (Picture: YouTube: Virals4)It’s considered by many friends a duty to play pranks at the groom’s expense on the eve of his big day as this petrified bachelor found out following this ingenious wind-up.
Covering their unsuspecting victim’s face with a balaclava, the group of jokers made the prank even more realistic by attaching the masked man to a harness.
Off we go (Picture: YouTube: Virals4)Facing a three-foot drop into the shallow lake below, the fervent crowd began chanting and clapping as the terrified man prepared for his ’50ft jump’.
After some words of encouragement, he spread his arms out wide before finally taking the plunge, much to the delight of the hysterical crowd stood behind him on the river bank.
The jumper is about to make a splash (Picture: YouTube: Virals4)Whipping his balaclava off after making a splash, the purple-haired groom seemed to see the funny side of the joke as he scrambled to dry land.
The video has racked up an impressive one million hits on YouTube in just three days, with one amused user commenting: ‘Who dreams up this stuff!’
All smiles: The groom sees the funny side of the joke (Picture: YouTube: Virals4)With friends like these, who needs enemies?
