Clubland fumes at coppers' ploppers

[The Straight Story]

They're tired of getting dumped on.

Residents in the club-centric hub of the Lower East Side are raising a stink over the manure minefield they're forced to navigate after NYPD horses do their duty to disperse rowdy bar-hoppers every weekend.

"They leave a big buffet of s- - -," groused James Parrales, 33, a bouncer at Mehanata-The Bulgarian Bar at 113 Ludlow St.

" are doing their job, trying to help the neighborhood . . . You can't have both."

The NYPD Mounted Unit was assigned to the neighborhood in January to answer complaints about bar- and clubgoers, a source said.

1. So-----you can get fined for leaving your dogs little pile

but 2 or 3 shovels full of shit for each horse just gets left there---for who? I smell a lawyer with a lawsuit.

2. All four of my grandparents remembered life before automobiles were common

Imagine entire towns or cities with the kind of mess described in the OP.

3. Just curious how does NYC clean up after the carriage horses?

As far as the NYPD horses they should have city sanitation on the streets going to wherever the horses patrolled that PM/AM in the early morning hours.

5. The horses wear diaper-like bags.

Definitely would not work for PD horses.
