Dog Fouling AwarenessDog fouling is an issue on and around our school grounds, the worst form of litter and has been one of the top issues of complaint from members of the public in recent times. Toxocariasis is a disease found in animal faeces and is caused by the eggs of the roundworm toxocara. Dog owners are responsible for cleaning up after their pets in public areas, but unfortunately some ignore their responsibilities.  As dog fouling has negative health implications it is imperative that we strive to reduce the quantity of it on our streets and parks. Dog owners must remove their pets' waste from public places and dispose of it in a proper manner.
