to get cross about 'Come Outside' advocating flushing dog poo down the toilet

[Shelly32]

Dogs carry the parasite Toxocariasis that can send people blind and cause all sorts of other flu like symptoms. Chemical sewage treatment and even bleach cannot 'kill' this parasite. By showing the woman flushing it down the toilet and then describing how all that sewage will get reused as manure for our vegetables and recycled back into drinking water makes me feel sick. We are told not to put dog and cat poo in the compost for health reasons. I do not want my vegetables grown in Fido's potentially blinding excrement. Only regular worming can destroy the Toxocariasis and not every dog owner is that responsible. I can't believe they'd encourage flushing dog poo with ours to be recycled...

Oh dear.....

You'd best tell the people who sell the Doggy Bog because they advocate washing it straight down into the sewers...even with bags!

I used watch this with my DN when she was tiny and she is 22 now. Our favourite episode was the one where Auntie M lost her ring in the quarry.

Isn't Aunty Mabel dead?

I used to work in a sewage treatment works and afaik dog poo is bad for the sewage treatment works. The friendly bateria that break the poo down can't cope with dog poo or something. Our water board certainly used to tell people not to do it. I bag it and bin it.

They do Aunty Mabel in Ireland?

Luxury!

Thanks VivaLeBeaver I thought when I'd been reading about it that it had said the sewage chemicals/bacteria couldn't break dog poo down or destroy the Toxicariasis.

Unfortunately...i think Aunty Mabel is dead

i saw does Jane know Auntie Mabel is a goner?

My favourite episode is the teapot one, because it's so absurd, when the potter says he'll only make her the teapot if she gets him clay. Talk about a I'm-going-to-name-a-silly-price-so-you'll-go-away deal!

Auntie Mabel is dead ?

Oooh...I may be wrong. A poster on here said she was...I can't find any suggestion of it on the internet though...not that that clarifies anything..

I'm sorry but I'm quite pleased there will be an end to Aunty Mabel and her stupid ratty dog.

OP what do you suggest: canine arse corks? (could be risky)

Now I think I remember that toxicariasis cannot survive long term without a host. So in the seven days or so it goes through the sewarage process it would shuffle off the mortal coil no?

It can survive for up to 7 years apparently...Arse corks sound splendid!!

It's Pippin who's dead...not Auntie Mabel.
Both Pippins are in doggy heaven now.

I like the library one.

Dog poo is illegal in Sweden. You have to burn it in a dog poo incinerator. Heavy fine if you don't. Aunty Mabel should do one there.

I don't think she's dead.

Auntie Mabel is still alive. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lynda_Baron

She was in Dr Who last year.

Pippin a stupid ratty dog?
I am beyond shocked at that statement .
He was a star I tell you, a star.

I'm quite certain Aunty Mabel is a responsible dog owner who wormed both Pippins regularly. Any dog poo that went down her toilet would have been worm-free.

Oh that Swedish model is brilliant. Isn't it also true that they trap the emissions from the poo furnace and use them to heat tomato farms or something?

I saw a most excellent programme about tomatoes once.

Massive, massive greenhouses, and they had the CO2 piped in from a big factory next door to make them grow quicker.

I just got Sue's name. [/tangent]

I have a helpful hoverererer ^^^

I'm still devastated that you don't have a purple fanjo. :(

Yes Sue but wasn't it marrows? Or swedes?
