I found this article because I spent many years in a community where it is not an issue (Tung Chung) Hong Kong to where it is (S. Main) Memphis TN. So in HK it is considered irresponsible, a rude and illegal to not know how to care for your pet without inconveniencing others by sight/smell of their waste. There are fines and someone can click a photo and report you. You pick up the poo and use a water/enzyme to dilute the area, urine is also diluted. People are educated that these are waste akin to human waste and it is a public hygiene issue. Many try to catch the poo on newspaper so it does not even soil the ground. There are small cans for this sort of waste that are emptied frequently as regular cans are only weekly. There are signs posted that explain the waste ruins landscaping and paint and costs everyone more money….and it does.
