My prediction.

I predict this type of City ordinance will be brought up in 2005 with our trend setting neighbors in San Francisco.
Manfred Juraczka, a councillor in a Vienna district, said he wanted the city to register all dogs' DNA so that droppings left where people walk could be tested and the owner of the guilty dog punished, Associated Press reports.

It makes perfect sense for the city by the bay. More city workers, taking samples and doing DNA tests, cross-checking them against the city's database of registered dogs(and cats?) then issuing fines to support the expense of the testing. It would be the perfect storm of bureaucracy gone wild. The pet license fees would have to be increased to help with the costs, but hey folks, it's all in the effort to clean up our city! I know, how about doing this to the homeless that defecate in the doorways of businesses. If they are picked up for vagrancy, they submit to a DNA test to build a database and when a business owner discovers bum droppings in his doorway, he can call the city to find out who the perpetrator is? That I would pay for.

What about 'out of town dogs' leaving poop in golden gate park? Call in the Feds, they may have crossed state line to commit this horrible offense.

Could this be a new series for CBS?
CSI- gone to the dogs- San Francisco.

Oh - this is great - I may have to use the link. Right now the city of Billings is proposing an ordinance to contain small animals.
