To say don’t put dog poo in bags

Many councils are actually removing dog poo bins permanently. I guess because they don’t want to spend money on getting them emptied. People can’t use their wheelie bins for disposal - no dog excrement allowed, and there’s often no dog poo bins at parks/woods, so I’m not sure where you’re supposed to dispose of them.

Same, and that is fine.
Scrubbing the pavement with bleach, or only letting your dog poo at home - there is no need.

Mine go in the garden and when they go for a walk. Always pick it up when out and about and put in the dog poo bin.

Can you train yourself to only shit at home? Never get caught short when out? Or somehow train your baby to only poo at home.
At least you can justify it to yourself. You can't explain it to a dog.

I run kids' cycling sessions on a council owned facility in a park. The cycle area is fenced and gated and there are "no dogs" signs all over the place. Yet every single week I have to pick up multiple piles of other people's dog shit before the kids can ride, probably about 50% of which has been bagged but then dumped. I think I'd rather deal with the unbagged to be honest as I just flick that into the grass, but I have to actually pick the bags up and walk across the park to the bin with it. It drives me mad. The whole of the rest of the park is dog friendly so why not stick to that, and why go to the trouble of bagging the poo and then dropping it in the middle of an area that is obviously used by kids? I like dogs but their humans not so much.

People should just train their dogs to shit in their own gardens and there wouldn’t be dog shit all over public footpaths. It’s revolting.

Dog poo can be put in general waste bins. It all gets processed the same.

Hopefully these will be paid for by a dog tax because I don't want that cost added onto my council tax thanks. Bloody entitled dog owners. Just pick it up and put it in your own bin at home.

The worst is dog shit being put into bags and then hung up on trees or gates. I’d rather the shit was left alone than having to see that.

Horse poo is pretty harmful when it is left in the road. Am speaking as a former biker.

While it's never nice to see a pile of any animal poo the difference between horse and dog is horses are herbivores making their poo pretty much harmful unlike dogs.

My dog has no problem finding fox poo to roll in fairly often!

straight into the nearest Vladimir (the poo-tin)

Round of applause for this

And happily my dog makes a fair dent in our local horse poo problem.

I thought at first you left a full one in your jacket! Hope I wrong about that.

i saw someone picking up after their St Bernard once, and I said "you don't need a poo bag, you need a carrier bag." They agreed.

If the lazy fuckers can’t be bothered to take their digs shit home or put in a bin the won’t bother flicking it under a bush

they simply don’t care and are lazy selfish disgusting slobs

I walked 5 miles on a well known trail today. Not a single bin anywhere.

I took my bags home though.

No they are not. Most are cheap plastic.

Many of the "biodegradable" ones will still take over 200 years to degrade and probably choke some wildlife way before that happens.

Dicky bags are great - we never go on a long countryside walk without one. Local walks mostly have plenty of bins along the way, but if we’re not sure we take a dicky bag with us there too. I could never feel comfortable clipping even a double bagged poo to my rucksack, but a neoprene container is fine.

ed to say if you don’t want to click on the link (and who could blame you?) then just Google ‘dicky bags’. I suppose a thermal baby food container would do a similar job and might be cheaper?

Dog poo bags left behind is the same as throwing litter in the countryside - pretty disgusting. We’re coming to the time when lambs are calves are being born. They are curious and can chew the bags. It can kill them.
We have footpaths across our land. I’m sick to death of having to pick up bags of poo from the lazy arsed skanks that think it’s ok to leave them pushed into a stone wall, in the undergrowth or hanging on a fence. You are disgusting. Shouldn’t have a dog and shouldn’t come to the countryside.

It’s all the same, all equally repellent and hard to remove.

I think you'll find rolling in fix or dog shit is infinitely worse than rolling in horse shit.

There are many people in the village I ride through who rush out with their bucket and spade 😂

I live in a National Park. The National Park authority have asked people to stop doing ‘stick and flick’ because the sheer numbers of dogs now present are producing so much waste that the nutrient levels of the delicate ecosystem are changing. Rare wildflowers that are reliant on low nutrient soils are being replaced by others, lusher growth is crowding them out. The rare butterflies and other insects that rely on the rare wildflowers as their host plants have seen a corresponding fall in numbers.
