New signs exhort dog owners to "scoop the poop" in Bethesda


The ongoing war against dog waste in downtown Bethesda has been joined by new signs erected in the Woodmont Triangle. "Scoop the poop," they remind insensitive dog owners who don't always do that. Logos for Montgomery County, Bethesda Urban Partnership, Bethesda Green, and the Chesapeake Bay Trust are emblazoned on the signs, which so far can be found at the corner of Norfolk and Cordell Avenues, and at Veterans Park. 


Dog waste bag dispensers are located beneath the signs. Beyond being disgusting and a public health hazard, dog waste also attracts rats. As if the disease-spreading rodent vermin weren't utterly revolting enough already, in recent years they've wanted to make it widely known that they also literally eat dog feces. "Get 'em the hell out."

How about a report on gasoline prices in our area?

Too many dogs in Bethesda causing a nuisance, especially if their owners don't pick up their waste, but even if they do - an average person can't enjoy any patch of grass in Bethesda because countless canines relieved themselves on it, most likely... SOLUTION: $500 annual pet fee within the city, used to subsidize all the non-owners for literally putting up with this s***!

Dog owners have no public dog parks within Bethesda yet they pay plenty of taxes to subsidize parents to have playgrounds and schools for their kids. How about a child tax?

There's a basic yoga position for that. It's called downward dog. Bend over and pick up that sh*t up already you selfish entitled "owners."

10:00 Those children will be paying taxes to support you when they grow up. Dogs will not.
