Horse Illegally Parked - Owner Fined 250 Euros

In an attempt to clean up the streets in Barcelona, Spain, local authorities have cracked down on the owners of horse drawn carriages. The city started handing out ridiculous fines last week in response to with the drivers’ refusal to pick up after their steeds. “We just can’t afford not to proceed in this manner” said the Minister of Equine affairs. “The problem is out of hand. The streets are lined with feces and the only solution is to hire someone to collect and dispose of the piles.” The city posted no parking signs around the city in areas where the carriages are usually found and then started fining the drivers for the violations. Owners are outraged and have said they will fight back. This morning a 600 kilo pile of dung was discovered on the steps of a local police station which made it nearly impossible for the officers to perform their Doody. The city has a Big Job ahead of them it seems.
