I live near Merano, and for every two tourists there is a dog – who pays to test those [stray] dogs?
Does a stray dog shit in the streets? Seriously Italians, when you find the answer to that question, you'll know the solution to your problems.

You have to expect there will be some fecal forgery as well
It's me. I'm the one shitting in the streets of Italy. Take that Mussolini!
We need to translate it to Italian, or they won’t understand you.
It’s-a me. I’m-a the one.
This is such a dystopian way to fine the public.
Yeah, will no one think about the privacy of the poor dogs!
Idk about southern italy but i lived in northern spain for 3 months and its horrible. You step out onto the street and you have to do parkour to dodge the shit while the street smells like a metric ton of dogshit. The worst part is some people pee and defacate on the street and it doesnt seem to bother anyone. I really do like spain but shit is literally their biggest problem.
What city in particular? I don't regularly encounter shit on the street when I go outside lol and most definitely not enough for it to have a smell.
Maybe he lived in Spain 40 years ago? Or in literally the worst part of the shittiest village there.
I lived in calafell and i went to barcelona and segur de calafell a lot because they are pretty nice(except for the dog poo). Also one of my friends car got robbed in daylight in an elevated parking house... barcelona can be pretty dangerous for tourists and they warn you. We only went with train as it was literally free
That's not northern Spain. Galicia, Asturias, Cantabria, Pais Basco - that's northern Spain. Catalonia is in the east and it sucks. Northern Spain is very nice and clean.
Oh in school they told me that catalonia was northern spain but i guess thats just the hungarian educational system...
Did they teach you that Poles and Hungarians are like brothers? That's what they thought me in Poland.
Yeah lol. They also had some wierd obsession with finnish people because of the tie between the hungarian and finnish language.
But you still prefer Poles, right? I'm getting jealous here...
From my experience finnish people are really antisocial so yes
I'm thinking about moving to Finland for a year or two. What do you think? I mean not about moving with me. Just if it's a good idea? I'm also quite antisocial. How good/bad is Finland?
Well if you live in a cold place in poland i think its easier to adjust. Im moving to southern sweden and people there are mostly normal but they have a lot of bad stereotypes about north swedes and finns. Dont move to a small town. Youre going to be all right in a city. Also finland is beautiful in my opinion.
Not the guy you replied to but central Barcelona was like that in 2020 at least.
Not op but I have been the convention center in Barcelona a couple times and the open sewage vents give the city a distinctive smell.
The swab test results will be inserted into a database, which police can then refer to in their search for the culprits and their owners. The evidence will be used to fine owners between €292 and €1,048 (£250 and £900).
At least the police will be doing something useful for once.
They're stray dogs shitting in the streets. I don't think they'll be paying fines anytime soon.
I'm sure a portion is from 'shitty' dog owners.
As a dog owner who sees a lot of other dog owners leaving shit everywhere, the shit in the streets is probably at least 50% from pets.
Everyone knows stray dogs hide their ill-gotten gains in Swiss banks. They have plenty of money for the fines, don't let those dogs fool you!
As a dog owner, I wish this happened in my city. Every time I walk the dog I have to be extremely careful not to step on other dog's shit.
One time my GF was walking the dog wearing sandals and stepped on a dogshit. The owner of the dogshit approached her and told her "How dare you walk on sandals here, dogs shit here", he later said "I'm a very good dog owner, I always carry a bag with me" (I guess to pick up the shit if police is nearby) "But I don't like picking up the dog's shit, it's nasty".
People just suck.
Major condo board/HOA vibes
Except you know, this is a real and major health issue
I wonder why people think Italy is still fascist.
It rimes with Baloney.
