New Bedford woman feels she’s being harassed by the city because people are not cleaning up after their dogs

“So in the past several months we have had multiple visits from animal control, health department, and city infrastructure regarding animal feces.

We have a 13 yr old dog that we clean up after EVERY poop! We use to have nice rose bushes in our front ‘yard’ but gave up because people used it as a dog ‘dropping.’

Today after multiple visits we were told the next time would be a $100 fine! We are feeling harassed by the city! We were told unless we got pics we are liable.

Are we supposed to sit outside 24/7 and wait to catch pics? Maybe since we’ve told several departments of the problem they should park themselves and watch!”-Marcia Kennefick.
