National Parks Traveler reports on the controversy in an Irish park about horse cart "dung-catchers."For some reason that isn't made clear, the cart drivers or jarveys, are opposed to driving carts with the dung-catchers.

Here in New York City's Central Park, all the horse carts have these dung-catchers attached to the front of the carts and positioned strategically under the horses behind. The catchers aren't perfect though and some horse "apples" manage to escape and carpet the southeastern road with the smelly excrement.
