And hired people to monitor the activities, sent members of OCRAP to organize the illegal camping, found money to do a study and tried to convince the public that the mayor has come up with a scheme that would make the collection of the feces a money making project.

Drivers in the Indian city of Bengaluru are breathing a sigh of relief as about a dozen road-hogging camels have moved on from an encampment at a nearby park.
Traffic had hit a hump as the camels left the park each morning to cross the road during the height of rush hour, then returning to camp around 7 p.m. for a repeat performance.
The wayward camels had been accused of frightening commuters, occasionally rushing onto the roadway without warning.
The creatures are prolific producers of feces and had been seen consuming quantities of public greenery.
It's illegal for camels to live in a park, but city officials say the animals can use public roadways as long as they follow local traffic ordinances.
