The War on Dogs

I can't remember seeing stray dogs in France. People usually call animal control pretty fast if a dog looks lost.

Then who is leaving all the faeces on the streets of Paris?

Unfortunately, this is not an unreasonable determination.

Additionally, the public restroom procedure in Paris is hyper-alien to anyone from a major US city. I imagine there are a lot of very ignorant 20-something US kids dropping nuggets at night in shrubs out of sheer necessity.

Imagine a normal, closeted US kid, doing a weekend or Semester abroad in France. They go to a friendly looking Irish expat pub, put down a pint or two, head to the loo, and just see A HOLE IN THE FLOOR.

If I was that sheltered child, I'd poop in the shrubs too.

There are about 7 million dogs in France, about 1 dog every 10 humans.
