Tel Aviv will test dog poop DNA to fine owners who don’t clean up:
Tel Aviv has found an innovative way of dealing with dog owners who don’t clean up after their pets in the city streets — testing the excrement’s DNA and sending a fine to the owner by mail.
The city council on Monday approved a motion setting up a DNA database and stating that dog owners will be required to submit their pets’ genetic details to authorities upon receiving or renewing a license, Hebrew-language media reported.
The validity of current dog licenses will expire six months after the new ruling takes effect, and new licenses won’t be approved unless owners give over the DNA details, the reports said.
The regulations won’t apply to guide dogs or to dogs kept by animal protection organizations.
[...] There were 6,766 calls and inquiries made to the city hall hotline over dog poop left in public spaces in 2020, according to the Ynet news site.

>> Also make the dog owner pay for the test, the cost of paying someone to come over and collect samples and submit the test, and the cost of paying someone to come over and clean up the mess.
Good idea in theory, but who would pay when it turned out to be a homeless person?

OP may have mean "H1B", in which case the meaning would be clearer.

There is nothing to pay. People get the dog license, the cost of which covers the DNA registry. It is illegal there, like here, to have a dog without a license. The cost of the DNA test for the dog shit, and the cleanup of said shit, is covered by the fines of the offenders now, instead of the cleanup being funded by the taxpayer. The homeless person does not have a dog license, his dog is not in the DNA registry, and his dog would not be identified with this method.
Homeless people with dogs are not an issue in naziland though. I've been there about 30 times before they blocked my passport after being put in risk category 6 (most risk - spoken-out non-zionist jew), and I've never seen a homeless person, because there aren't any. There are under 2000 homeless people there. This is because arabs aren't people, and if there's ever a homeless jew, they just make a free home for the jew and a homeless arab, who doesn't count because he, again, is not a person.
It's funny they're cracking down on dog shit though, with all that human shit just walking around. Someone should take a flamethrower to that - which we're doing by giving free weapons to Isreal and selling weapons to the Saudis. Gonna be nice when that whole holy area is going to be just a holy hole in the ground.
