On an errand today I noticed a large sign at a used car lot that might be of help:

"UNATTENDED CHILDREN WILL RECEIVE A LARGE LATTE AND A FREE PUPPY."

Scary enough for me, but I suppose those who don't attend to their children would probably demand their choice of breed for the puppy and in three months your neighborhood would be full of abandoned feral (hungry) dobermans and pit bulls.

(Which might, of course, impact the feral child population - but someone's bound to object.)

I understand the problem, and as the saying goes - "been there, done that, and somebody stole my teashirt."
