It is by law. In some parks you can see following signs:
I like this one :-)
Ok, law is law. Everybody should obey that. But what about "Serve and protect" police statement?
How about these guys?
In Toronto downtown you can see horse police. Horses are really gorgeous.
I love horses by myself and very often go to Woodbine race track to see these beautiful animals in races.
But what I don't understand is why horse police officers, I mean horse riders, do not clean streets after their transport (horse) made poo.
It is not funny at all to walk on a street and see horse shit, which can be lying there by hours.
My question is why law applicable to regular people and not to police itself?
It is so simple thing - just clean shit for your horse in public place or prevent it.
Government made such law, please obey it itself.
Ok,
let's say that police officer should be focused on order around and shouldn't take care about somebody's shit. In this case, why don't you attach special bags behind horse? Or year, scientists say that it is unhealthy for horse - poor animal (link to article about it).
What about parents with kids, walking on the same streets?
Somebody wrote that dog's shit has more bad bacterias in it than horses', so horses' is much better and halthier for the environment. What's up with you guys? It is still shit.
Horse manure does contain harmful bacteria including salmonella. It's also a danger to motorcyclists, I've slid on it in the past after cars have spread it around, it's not always avoidable.
People shouldn't see horse shit on streets. It is where disrespect starts of civilians to police. Don't you think so?
I can only tell that found dosen of links in internet where people discuss this problem - yes, problem.
As for the environment, I would start talk about garbage bags in downtown Toronto, which you can see every Monday night - but it is another story....
For one, it would stop/hold up the police from doing their job..
ReplyDeleteTwo, The police have enough to carry around while riding let a lot having to carry a pooper scooper and a big enough bag to scoop it up, then find a place to dump it.. It is too much hassle, they cannot carry shit while riding a horse.. The bag they might carry could perhaps get lost while in a riot causing it to be a weapon against someone...
Maybe a better question to ask is why we are paying for Police to ride around on horses in 2014. No one else rides a horse to work for very obvious reasons, this issue you bring up being one of them.
ReplyDeleteSeems like an unnecessary expense to the tax payer.
Many police are now using bicycles and there's always motorcycle police as well.
