Pet poo can cause HFMD?

The Newpaper, Sat 1st April 2006

To stop irresponsible pet owners from not cleaning up their pets poo, the management of Pine Grove condominium cried Hand Foot and Mouth Disease(HMFD). The condo managers put up notices saying that pets' poo may invite the outbreak of HFMD hoping it will cause residents to pick up after their pets, even though the information is false. I am shocked that this is what some condo managers would do just to stop residents from leaving their pet poo lying around. They resort to lying about something that is considered a serious matter. HFMD is a disease and should not be used to scare pet owners into cleaning up after their pets, but instead it should be taken seriously. I believe that many residents believed what was written about the pets' poo being able to cause HFMD, and this might have led to many misunderstandings. Some parents who have pets and small children might think that the pets pose a threat to their children and hence think of giving up their pets. Whatever the case it was wrong of the management of the condoinium to give out false information just to solve their own problems. By doing so the management has been unfair to the residents, and since they can lied it shows that this management is not really a good one.
