If you're serious, then don't order food there. Let health dep't do their work (inspection). But to be honest there is something a bit fishy about this post.

nothing fishy here at all. it was reported on the New Haven Independant Website that the owner of Duc's place is collecting pee samples from the plant outside his restaurant, he is even shown holding the pee inside his restaurant in a photo used for the article that I have posted here.

https://www.newhavenindependent.org/index.php/archives/entry/pay_to_pee/

quote from the article "He also gathered DNA samples of the pee" and caption under the picture reads "Duc Nguyen with pooch pee DNA samples" as he stands in his restaurant at the counter where he serves customers

I have ate here recently and to think the ingredients of my banh mi sandwich were sharing a cooler with dog pee the chef collects for his own research makes me want to throw up in my mouth

Be careful opening links.

what do you mean careful opening links?

Sometimes a link can contain a virus

So because he is trying to get people to STOP letting their dogs pee on his property, he is dirty? Nope. Don't buy it.

Ravenclaw the dogs are peeing outside of this mans restaurant and then he is taking the pee inside of his restaurant. All pee should remain outside, bringing the pee inside his restaurant is a health code violation.

Inspector will investigate.

Folks this complaint was not handled properly. If the rumors are proven false, and he loses his business because of the rumors, he will sue. The complainant should have just filed a report with the Health Department. You have the right to complain but, you are not allowed to ruin someone's reputation in such a huge public forum. The Health Department, I'm sure will handle this situation very well.

Thank you LCI!

if that is the case then the monitor of see click fix needs to delete this issue

LCI
I agree with you 100%. See Click Fix is a good tool but it has to be used correctly. Thank you for your reply and for monitoring this site.

I agree the monitor needs to delete this issue but the problem is he may have never reviewed it..

I just read the article. As a pet owner, I am siding with the restaurant owner. Do I like that he is collecting pee? Not in the least. Am I assuming he is contaminating his food supply? Hardly. He's frustrated, not stupid. Thanks, anonymous for making a mountain out of a molehill. Proof that NH will waste $ harassing an easy target but will continue to ignore the quality of life issues surrounding The Green. Students can't walk away from campus without worrying about getting mugged. You can't buy coffee without wading through 1/2 dozen people squatting indoors.

NH is way behind the curve on so many things. But yeah, keep harassing the restaurant owner. mshThat'll show him who's boss.

After reading the article and seeing the video a few things come to mind.
1. An easy solution could be removing the plant or just put it on a small table
2. Dogs owners should clean up after their dog when they have a bowel movement but it is different when they urinate. You do not see the fire department complaining when a dog goes on a fire hydrant.
3. Maybe the restaurant owner should have been just given a warning instead of a ticket
