Texas Judges Declare War On "Pet Excrement" On Courthouse Lawn

<snip>

AUSTIN, Texas (Reuters) - Two Texas judges have made a federal case out of dog poop on the courthouse lawn.

Irked by a profusion of pet excrement on the small lawn of the federal courthouse in downtown Austin, U.S. District Judges Sam Sparks and Lee Yeakel issued an order on Thursday:

"Any person who authorizes or permits any animal to relieve itself on the grass or grounds of the United States Courthouse shall be subject to citation, fine, and/or arrest effective from this date...

"Too many individuals had permitted their pets to relieve themselves on the grass and grounds," the order said.

2. Finally, Texans declare war on something that sorts well with their

pugnacity. Go get 'em, Texas. And when you're done, go over to Iraq. The boys over there are up to their eyebrows in shit.
