3900 Euros for Dog Poop: What Is the DNA Program Really Good For?

Answer

Is Mallorca likely to see the same dog waste problems even with a DNA system?

Yes, a DNA system alone does not remove the everyday causes of dog waste on streets and in parks. Problems often remain where there are too few bag dispensers, limited cleaning routes, or poor compliance at busy times. On Mallorca, prevention and visible public services are just as important as fines.
