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

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...

Escaped Chaos? Confused

I live in chaos if it helps. Maybe I am invisible to her? Grin

Tufty - a glorified tree rat who incites small children to play with the traffic.

Anyway, I think I get away with the no caps because I got my username back in the day when you couldn't have them so ner.....

Also I was a journalist for a decade or so, I do know how to spell and type etc. I'm just had children and lowered my standards to fit the time allotted. Wink

Yes ...because bagging it up to be tipped on landfill is soooo much better

Shelly32 · 14/01/2012 21:47

Not better, just less likely to cause health issues. Why do you think the water board advises against itOldmerryolesoul? Anyway I think most of the people on here have moved on to other things so have a good night Smile

Tsk, Pippin isn't dead! She's large as life on the front of the Bakers dog food box.

It's the same dog!

(well, one of the dog's descendents anyway)
