Dogs good, People not so much.

I had a loud encounter this past summer with a lowlife, in a small Custer SD. campground. Every morning and evening he would walk his lab to a nearby park and leave several huge piles. At one point he even stood there while the dog left a pile in front of the door of a motorhome parked on the street. When confronted, he told me that there was no local ordinance, an there was nothing anybody could do to stop him.
On another occasion I was checking in to a very small, rural Texas campground. I was a bit surprised to see a flat screen TV, mounted on the wall behind the check-in desk, and facing the customers. It was a split screen, and was showing about eight different video cameras in the campground. The employee saw me watching it and told me that the whole system was installed to keep the park free of dog owners who wouldn't clean up. Prior to that, it was a running battle between management and lazy dog owners. Now they just knock on your door, and tell you they have you on tape, not cleaning up after your dog, and you're out. As in, no refund, no second chance, pack your trash and go. He said that the video system totally eliminated any dog problems in the park.
