Lagoa and Carvoeiro dog poo and registration initiative

Paul Rees 21 March 2019

dogpoo The Lagoa and Carvoeiro parish council union is encouraging dog owners to register their hounds by offering owners a free poo bag dispenser, as well as a torch to enable the nighttime uplift of excrement.

Joaquim João Paulo, the president of the Parish union, has reminded owners that it is a legal obligation to have their dogs registered and that he is offering free registration this year plus the free gifts.

Owners who already have registered their dogs this year can have the free gifts as well.

The parish council union is distributing leaflets and posting information on billboards to publicise the initiative.

"In this parish, there are 580 dogs registered, but in reality there are many more to register," explains Joaquim Paulo, adding that, "Current law insists on the registration of dogs and the fines for non-registration are very high."

The fines are between €50 and €3,740 for individuals and the annual charge for registration a small amount per animal.

Portugese dogs are a pain in the ass because the majority are stray dogs, they are hungry they suffer from lack of medical care and in top of that they are beaten up constantly. Unfortunately Portugese men not only beat up their dogs… as a kind of "a national sport" they also like to beat up their women and wifes.

I'm in Laos right now, a poor 3rd world country, just like Portugal, there are dogs everywhere BUT unlike Portugal, i'm not woken at night by barking dogs, i don't have to watch where i walk because of dog poo everywhere. So who is the 3rd rate country.
The place is disgusting.

Yes, the cost of registration is less than €10 per year. But registration can be made only if the requisite inoculations have been given. The price then is much higher.
