To ask why people hang poo on trees?

So in the same way, if your a parent of teens and see antisocial behaviour then you must tell them off, if your a parent of younger children and you see others misbehaving, you must deal with that. If you are a parent and see other parents doing anything wrong you must step in. If you are a part of any organised religion and an atrocity happens in the name of that faith you must sort it yourself, all so your not tarred with the same brush, is this the sort of thing you mean?

"Dicky bag" is a new one for me! 🤭

I have a dicky bag to collect my dogs poops in before I find a bin. I've never seen anyone else with one and I rarely see other people carrying bags of poop but most of the time I have a poop filled bag with me so there's a lot of people not picking up/slinging the bags and not binning it.

My SIL (lives in the States) says there are businesses there that will send someone to your house at preagreed intervals, for a fee, to pick up the dogshit from your own backyard. Because there are dog owners who are too lazy even to clean up the shit from their own property! If they can't even be arsed to pick up the shit off their own lawns there's no hope of them caring enough about other people to pick it up from a public place and take it home with them.
Of course NADOALT but I don't think they're a small minority either. It's disgusting.

Are you saying that people shouldn’t post about things that they think are clearly an issue. We are talking about literal shit here.
If dog owners are being bashed, then best they start cleaning up their dogs shit. I can’t see it being an issue then

Apparently they are going to pick up up later. It's gross.

They should get a Dicky bag and take it with them.

I'm a dog owner and I'm the one going round picking up the plastic bags and putting them in my own bin so they don't cause harm to wildlife.

I am sooo thoroughly FED UP of dog owners!!!

Many treat our country, surroundings and residents with disdain. There should be a LARGE licence fee to register dog ownership and thus pay for dog wardens.
Any unregistered dog removed, retained and rehomed if not claimed. Responsibility needs to be forcefully rammed home.

Hopefully all those irresponsible people who got dogs over lockdowns will dispense with that habit when their current purchase passes away and 10 years hence, perhaps things might improve.

I love animals but they are a responsibility not to be taken lightly.

There will be dog people who do this, who are reading this thread and won’t comment on why they do this.

No dog owner should walk past a tree / bush with hanging turds. If you are a dog owner and you see this, dispose of them ALL to redeem dog owners overall.

Otherwise you will be tarred with the same brush; dog ownership being antisocial and disgusting for the majority.

It’s disgusting. Entitled dog owners who resent having to pick up their dog’s shit.

I run past layby on a busy road where (presumably) men pee by the roadside. This summer when it hadn't rained, the stench of pee was overwhelming! 🤢 Yes, people can be disgusting and that's why there has to be enforcement of rules, fines or a DNA system. Dog owners won't resolve this themselves spontaneously, it's just not human nature.

A surprising number of people are disgusting.

I witnessed a human poo, left on a pile on toilet roll at the side of a country road the other day while out running. I went past a week later and it was still there, covered in flies.

Because they are rancid imbeciles.

I have a dog, love dogs. But people who do this are absolutely disgusting.

That’s disgusting. To be honest I think if they are so lazy, just leave the shit on the ground. But no, let’s add a plastic bag on top to add to the problem of plastic pollution.

I sometimes 'stick and flick' if way out in the countryside so the poo (not in a bag) can biodegrade in the brambles. I don't mean the sort of places kids play, I mean dense undergrowth or nettles. I know some hardliners will say you should never leave it anywhere and there's toxic compounds in the dog mess and the critters of the hedgerow don't like it but occasionally it's the most practical thing to do. I wouldn't dream of leaving it on a pavement, in a field, near water, up a tree etc.
Someone locally regularly leaves their dog's mess on the grass about 1 metre away from the dog poo bin - why on earth? Exactly how much dog crap is in landfill though?! Can't scientists come up with a secondary use for it?

I use one bag to pick up the poo and another to use as a little carrier bag. Then it goes in the wheelie bin at home.

There should be a dog licence and the money should be used to fund dedicated dog poo bins and collectors.

They could also make it mandatory to register the DNA of all dogs and match it with poo that's been left, I believe this has been implemented somewhere already.

The thing is, when you are out with small children in the woods and the fields they run around everywhere. Even into the undergrowth around trees. They make dens etc. So you leaving little parcels of shit for them to discover is DISGUSTING.

I think you mean "another irresponsible dog owner bashing thread"

Only the dog owners who leave shit bags hanging in trees.

Presumably, the majority of dog owners do not do this, otherwise there would be nothing but dog shit swinging from the lower branches everywhere.

Never see any round here

Apart from on the poo bag trees

Another dog owner bashing thread 🙄

Even if there are no bins and they 'intend' to pick them up on the way back, why should other members of the public be subjected to seeing dog shit hanging from the trees?

Don't like dealing with dog mess? Don't get a dog.

Here to find out the excuses 😤

Because they are inconsiderate arseholes, that are only marginally better than the irresponsible arsehole dog owners who don’t pick up after their dogs at all.

I have 3 large dogs, so with mine we’re talking dino sized poos. Is it pleasant having to spend the rest of a walk carrying a hot, stinky bag full of turd around with you? No. But I would never think it ok to just tie it up on a random tree - I take it home and bin or find a dog poo bin to put it in. No excuses.
