It’s not just dog excrement that is left on the meadows. Beverage cans and other waste are increasingly causing problems. Cows have also died in this way or had to be euthanized due to waste-related incidents. This problem has led to the existence of boards with the title “Waste kills animals”. These warning notices are placed in a specific location for a very limited period of time, i.e. one to a maximum of two weeks. They then change location. Such warning signs are intended to make walkers aware of the basic problem associated with grazing animals near the city. Today I discovered such a board during my jogging tour in Unteraffoltern, Zurich.
