Florida: Condominium Association Requires DNA Database for Dogs
June 29th, 2011Via: AP:
A Florida condominium association hopes dog DNA samples will help them determine which pet owners aren’t picking up after their pooches.
…
Starting Aug. 1, residents in the Jupiter community must each pay a $200 fee to keep the dogs’ genetic information on file at the DNA Pet World Registry. Dog droppings found in common areas will be collected and mailed to the Tennessee-based company for comparison.
The association’s property manager says any owner whose dog matches the poop sample will be fined up to $1,000 or a lien could be placed on their homes. A dog that’s a persistent problem could be confiscated.
