Think of the Children!


A sporadic spotlight on the things that make Huntsville, Alabama standout.

Think of the Children!


The hubby and I went for a walk down the green belt over the weekend, where we spotted a new sign that had been installed. Now I appreciate dog owners who pick up after their pooches. I prefer clean paths, especially in the hot, humid summer that will shortly be upon us. But who wrote this sign?

Dog Waste is a threat to our children

Really? Attack of the dog waste?

And that's not the only puzzler. Who uses language like "degrades our city" on a road side sign? What on earth is "leash-curb"ing? What did the poor sap who had to create the artwork think?

  1. That's quite an interesting angle to take! How about "It's gross so pick up, will ya?" It's a little more to the point :)

  2. There are bacteria and microbes in do poop that can ne dangerous to kids if bad parents aren't paying attention and let their kids EAT IT. I guess its aimed at putting a gilt trip on dog owners who don't clean up their dog's mess just for the ick factor...

  4. Aly--exactly! It's not the message, it's the delivery. It's just a bit...off.

    Shelly--well yea, but there is nasty and dangerous stuff everywhere if you aren't parenting your children.
