Like their counterparts
in big cities,
dog owners
in Lake County may have to start cleaning up after their pets with pooper scoopers.That was one of several changes to the county's animal control ordinance
suggested during a public hearing Tuesday.The revamped proposal, which aims primarily to stop vicious animals before they bite or harm someone, will undergo more tinkering to include suggestions like cleaning up after
dogs.Pooper scoopers will be
needed if the county sticks with the idea to ban defecating by
dogs on both public and private property
other than that belonging to the animal's owner, County Commissioner Richard Swartz said.
