Wow, in a city called Petah no less. Hey, this might work down your way Phil and Bob, for the vagrants and crack-heads.
City uses DNA to fight dog poop
PETAH TIKVA, Israel (Reuters) – An Israeli city is using DNA analysis of dog droppings to reward and punish pet owners.
Under a six-month trial programme launched this week, the city of Petah Tikva, a suburb of Tel Aviv, is asking dog owners to take their animal to a municipal veterinarian, who then swabs its mouth and collects DNA.
The city will use the DNA database it is building to match faeces to a registered dog and identify its owner.
Owners who scoop up their dogs’ droppings and place them in specially marked bins on Petah Tikva’s streets will be eligible for rewards of pet food coupons and dog toys.

Oh, those wacky Israelis….
Leave it to THEM to come up with something that WORKS (unlike this city and most all of my “neighbors”)…just like “corner-shot”…lol!
Which reminds me of the Israeli Engineering Corps motto:
×ת הקשה × ×¢×©×” היו×, ×ת הבלתי ×פשרי × ×¢×©×” מחר
(The hard – we shall do today, the impossible – we shall do tomorrow)
Yeah…that’ll work for me.
