| The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has issued a new regulation, banning pets from all public parks in the city, the state-run Thai News Agency reported Thursday.
The ban followed a number of complaints lodged by members of the general public on troubles they had faced in the public parks caused mainly by pets' droppings.
"The new regulation is particularly targeted at canines and puppies which were most often brought to the parks by their owners,"a BMA source was quoted by the agency as saying.
"The ban is also aimed at keeping the city's public parks clean for those who want to enjoy their physical exercises and other recreational activities," said the source. |
