When the relatives of a deceased person visiting Dragør Cemetery, there's a risk more and more often to find hundelorte, which is left on both graves and around the cemetery.
It writes TV2 Lorry.
the Church staff tells that they are experiencing an increasing problem with dog walkers, who obviously can not see the problem, leaving excrement from their pets on and around the grave sites.
- Now, I have been working here since 2011, and I do not think it has been like this before. Just this year there come more and more. In a week I can easily pick ten shitty up if not more.
- This is something damn mess and disrespectful. I can not understand that one cannot keep an eye on his dog and picks it up, says gravermedhjælper Birgitta Nørskov Ibsen.

the Actual work of collecting the hundelortene up, however, is not the worst thing for Birgitta Nørskov, Ibsen, although she of good reasons any would be free.
- We may well pick up. It is disgusting, it is not that, but when they lie on the grave sites, so the party stops.
- I am thinking that I am even as the relatives would be upset about it. Perhaps it is extra bad, because there perhaps is a, you have loved. It is perhaps a little the same as crapping on the person who is lying on the ground, she says.

the chairman of the parish council Annette Michelsen is also outraged by the lack of care from the local dog walkers.
- I think it is rather distasteful that you can find to do it. It may simply not be aware of. One should respect a place like a cemetery, she says.
In an attempt to address the problem, is kirkekontoret begun to share the free dog bags out, but it has not had the desired efekt.
And it is not due to a lack of garbage cans in the area, says Birgitta Nørgård Ibsen.
- We could well ask extra garbage cans up, but they are already very visible, and one must not go very far, she says.
Not all cemeteries have the same problems with hundelorte. Two kilometers from Dragør Church is Store Magleby Church. Here are the problems with surviving hundelorte limited, informs the for TV 2 Lorry.
