PooPrints "service that identifies the owner whose manners have not been done by DNA appraisal of lost dogs

Although it is manners of a pet dog to bring a plastic bag or tissue when walking a dog in a public place or to finish the dog's stool before walking, it is a dog's walk Lost things "and feel uncomfortable, have experienced stepped on stepping without noticing that there is anyone once at all?

A service that identifies the main of such "lost item" by DNA appraisal has appeared in the United States.

Details are as below.BioPet Vet Lab - PooPrints

TennesseeKnoxvilleofBioPet Vet LabIs a company that mainly provides DNA appraisal to explore the roots of what kind of breed dogs are breeding in the dogs and services such as long term preservation of DNA for owners who want to make clones when the pet dies It seems that we started a unique service "PooPrints" in October 2008, which collects DNA from the cells contained in the dog's abandoned dog and identifies the fungus.

This "PooPrints" recently became a luxury condominium in BaltimoreScarlett PlaceIt is said that introduction is being studied at the newspaper, TV, netBecause it was widely reported, I am gathering the topic.

In "PooPrints", all the residents who have dogs in the community (neighborhood association etc.) to be introduced first, use the DNA of their dogs through BioPet Vet LabDNA World Pet RegistryRegister in the database. It seems to be the procedure of obtaining a special kit, rubbing the inside of the dog's cheek with a thing like a cotton swab, collecting the sample and mailing it.

After the DNA of the dog kept in the area is registered, a sample of the "lost item" of the found dog is sent to the BioPet Vet Lab, and by comparing with the registered DNA, which dog whose dog owns It is possible to specify whether thing of.


We introduced this program already in a residential group such as a residential area, and there are also places where the number of "lost things" has decreased. Although it may be concerned that residents will be badly inferring from "DNA searching" in the DNA appraisal, this program seems to be "more likely to be identified as a criminal if left untreated" than it was searching for a criminal when Mugen was abandoned "It seems that the main focus is placed on the deterrent force of improving manner by making the owner conscious. In many cases, in each community, penalties such as fines for owners who left dogs are decided at the time of introducing the program, but maybe it will be deterrent as well.


Incidentally, according to BioPet Vet Lab, about 75 million dogs are currently kept in the USA, one in two of their owners walks the dog in a public place, 40% of them do not pick up the feces about. If each dog evacuates once a day, there are 15 million "lost things" occurring all over the country on the day.

Although it may be overdone when listening to DNA appraisal, it may be an investment not bad for the inhabitants of closed limits of dogs who are constantly in dogs and are not bad.
