No dropping: Law mandating horse poop bags rankles Amish
(AP) — Amish residents of a western Kentucky town are fighting back against an ordinance requiring large animals to wear collection bags to catch their droppings, arguing that the law unfairly singles out their community.
The Daily News of Bowling Green reports (http://bit.ly/2fpUWWK ) that many Amish in Auburn have refused to comply with the ordinance, citing concerns that attempts to put the bags on their horses might frighten the animals.
Auburn officials say the ordinance keeps the streets clean and reduces the risk of spreading disease.
