Polish rapper lays giant turd in anti-dog mess campaign

A Polish rapper has installed a sculpture of a giant dog’s mess in the south-western city of Wroclaw, with the aim of prompting locals to be more conscientious about their pets.

Lukasz Rostkowski, aka L.U.C, laid the gleaming marvel on a patch of pristine grass by the city’s Dominican Square. “Every year, dog messes pop up quicker than snowdrops,” the artist said.



“Our action is a bit of fun,” he explained. “We want to highlight the problem through a joke, as there’s no point in doing this in a serious way,” he added.

Dealing with dog messes is no small matter in the city. Authorities have installed 1250 special bins for the excrement, collecting 143 tonnes last year. However, in spite of these bins, dog-owners often do not clean up after their pets.
