Dog wee (sorry!!)

To be fair, I don't fly, I buy my clothes second hand, I make decorations for Christmas and Easter using natural stuff (or keep the same things for decades - our tree is an artificial one from the 70s that a friend found in their loft when they moved into a new house), I don't do precious metals, and I am vegetarian. There you go. Am I miserable? Not at all!!! I am not evangelical about all this; I wouldn't have mentioned it except for the list by another poster. Surely I am not alone in this?

When an animal is domesticated, people should take responsibility for it. They take responsibility for not leaving dog shit everywhere, even though wild animals do poo where they like. So that argument is already null and void.

For all that think it's fine - I'll just come and take a poo in your garden and pee up your car door and while we're at it, I'll wipe my pooey hands all over your trousers and lick all your food if you're out walking and holding lolly that I can reach..

I hate the dog-owning culture (not the animals' fault). It's a bit insane. Just this one animal, bred solely to keep as a slave, and the rest of non slave animal owning society is just expected to be okay walking in public spaces like parks which is just expected to be their toilet.

Tell you what, dog owners, how about you let the dog poop in your garden and house and not public spaces? And pls spare me the "other animals poop outisde" baloney - dogs are domesticated. They don't ecologically poop and pee outside in little discreet nooks, cover it up, etc (like other animals) they just poop and pee wherever like a hapless drunk.

When Iet my kid playing in the grass I'm gambling with the v probable notion that they will be rolling in dog wee and poo. I don't see any squirrel poo on the grass, and pigeons, well, yes they're Considered vermin that we tolerate.
Whenever I see pop, it's dogs'.

I don't think your right to have a cuddly, sycophantic slave outweighs my right to public sanitation, especially for children. And that's not even getting to the unecological wasteful side of it all (dog food meat production).

Not sorry. 😊

Or just don’t have a dog?
We are in the middle of a climate crisis and dogs have a high carbon paw print.
They might be nice to have but they are a luxury the planet cannot afford.
Assistance and working dogs are different of course - they are a necessity not a luxury.

Near me, dogs are doing terrible damage to a precious chalk stream. Owners just let their dogs go in the stream to paddle or to fetch sticks (the owners are actually encouraging their dogs to go into the stream) but the flea treatments are killing everything in the stream. Chalk streams are so rare, it’s awful to see them being destroyed by dogs (or more accurately by their owners).

Dogs wee multiple times on a walk. To wash the wee away with a bottle of water, some people would need to take a lot of water on their dog walks.
Dog owners already take poo bags, lead, maybe a ball, ball thrower, treats, and now you want them to cart a huge bottle of water around too?
Along with their house keys, mobile phone, maybe a pair of gloves if it's cold?

Maybe dog owners need to invest in a small suitcase on wheels in order to take their dogs on a walk?

Rain washes it and foxes, hedgehogs, squirrels, birds, rabbits, insects shit and pee all over grass as well this is so strange it annoys you

You've had kids. The environmental impact of additional humans is exponentially greater than animal wee.

As I have to give thought to them all the time, as I encounter dog piss all the time, and have kids who will loiter round tree roots and sit on benches where dogs have lifted their legs, I often think about it. We walk up a grassy pathway every day to school, a place that is used by dog walkers, and the kids go onto the verges, pick up sticks from the edge, look at the butterflies on the brambles etc, and I know damn well they are walking in dog piss. I know it is hard to control where dogs wee, as they seem to do it twenty times in a short distance, marking territory, which is why I wonder if owners would consider carrying a water bottle and give it a quick squirt to dilute. It also causes an imbalance in the eco system.

I wonder if a dog-wee lover could come and tell me why it is acceptable to let their dog do it.

In the UK rain will wash it away. Female dogs tend to piss downwards not up things as they squat.

I find it more gross when fully grown adults feel the need ( mainly men!)to piss everywhere. Just use toilets you skanky gits, public, pubs, garages, shops..not a lay by, not the town centre, not walls outside shops.

I am vegetarian, so not an issue. My food is not grown in the excrement and urine of animals that are meat-eaters - and I think that is the issue with dog wee. High nitrogen, very smelly etc, which is very different from the urine of animals that are herbivores. In fact, I am a big lover of horse poo etc as I use it for my garden - it is fab stuff.

Wow! So you won't let your own dog pee in your own garden! But are happy for it to pee in public spaces!
