...to think dog owners who don't pick up after their pets should be shot

[makemineabacardi]

For the second time in as many days DD has trodden in dog shit on the walk home. Some of the pavements on our route are very badly lit and covered in leaves so you can't see in front of you very well. Avoiding big piles of dog shit is a lottery.

Ive just spent the last 15 mins trying to scrub shit out of the grooves of the soles of her shoes and yet again the smell of dog shit is burned into my nostrils.

There are no dog wardens here and no prospect of getting any. AIBU to want to hunt down these fucking lazy dog owners and shoot them dead after first rubbing their noses in their dog's shite.

Very very .

TodayIsAGoodDay I ran out of sensible dog poo thread answers about 11 million threads ago. I'm trying to find some new ones in time for next weeks.

We have never hamster poo threads. Some one should start a thread about hamster poo. It's good to have a change every now and again.

Fair play.

We definitely need a new genre of poo. I think cat and dog poo threads have been done to death.

Rocking-horse shit?

If it's not about pet poo it's about where to spend Christmas.

To be fair there are numerous threads about baby/toddler poo too if you are weary of animal droppings.

Good old poo threads

Unicorn poo I have so much trouble with it.

Now that is an irresponsible owner that won't pick up that monstrosity. Clear up after your unicorns people.

Yes Pat Unicorn owners are the worst.

I'd live to know just WHY cat shit is acceptable and dog shit isn't!!

Because the dog shit is bloody everywhere. At least there's some hope of knowing where the cat crap is, ie, garden beds. (not that I think this is acceptable, but I haven't had outside cats in many years.)
Unlike the crap of our two cats, who are full-time inside cats and use their box only.

Yanbu.
Hate hate hate dog shit.
Took my DSs to the park at the weekend and one of them walked in it and the other cycled in it, then I had to load up the bike into the car with dog shit on the tyres (boak). Have yet to clean it off - how DO you clean dog shit off bike tyres?
Not sure how best to tackle owners who dont clear up after their dogs but its a real problem...

Can I add (as a dog owner) an extra category to get shot - those who neatly package up their dog shit in plastic bags then hang it on a tree / in the hedge / leave it on a stile. I mean, WTAF goes through someone's mind to do that

Oh yes Takver. pooey baubles. Happy Christmas.

YANBU. Poo on my pushchair winds me up. I have a dog. A dog that does many many poos. I always pick up, with one exception: when he poos in a thorn bush (which he frequently does). 1. Because the bag rips and I get poo on me 2. No one walks in thorn bushes unless you want to chase small furry things like my dog. But you know what really grinds my gears? Cat poo. Next doors cat loves to poo on my gravel. ITS NOT A BLEEDING LITTER TRAY YOU sh@#e. X

pannacotta... spray bottle of water on full stream. takes a liittle while but it gets there.

Where I live the government provide special bins called Robidogs with free bags incorporated into the bin. They are frequently placed and plentiful.

We have one 100 metres from our door, next to a small utilities building and a bit of waste grass. Our garden borders onto it with no fencing.

Our garden and the adjoining waste grass is always full of turds. The kids here go sledging and end up crying and covered in shit. The man who lets his dog do this lives about 500 meters down the road. He doesn't ever take his dog for a walk, he brings it to shit twice a day and then goes home. I've seen him on the waste ground but never my grass.

THE FREE BAGS AND BIN ARE RIGHT INFRONT OF HIM!

On Saturday evening we were having a party. A few people stepped out onto the patio, myself included. Mr Turd Dodger's Labrador came bounding up the side of the house and squatted to leave a big steaming shit on the lawn in front of all my party guests.

He came after it to put the lead on, turned the corner and saw 5 people on the patio staring, and a load of people looking through the French windows.

His reaction? He threw the chain lead at the dogs head, and kicked him off the lawn. Then tried to kind of joke shrug "dogs, hey? What can you do?" like it was the dogs fault for squatting on the garden (like it does nearly every day) and not picking up his shit.

He hunted round a bit, but he was looking for the lead!!! Then he walked off.

I am trying to persuade DH to go over and curl one out on his lawn, a la Me, Myself and Irene.

I have dogs and I always pick up their poo but I am now seriously considering swapping my gorgeous dogs for some gorgeous cats if we move back. Because apparently cat shit is much more acceptable, especially in other people's gardens, and therefore the owners don't have pick it up.

Just need to sort out crapping pigeons then all will be well.
Don't get me started on fecking seagulls!

I too have done the cold poo pick. Boaktastic.
Cat uses litter tray. Also OUR garden. (Put a tiny bit of litter in a place you want them to use. Becomes outside toilet!) She's 18. She can't make it next door!!

I knew that this would turn into ANOTHER cat shit thread....

JollySanters, I would go and poo on his lawn.

We often get dog poo left on our driveway. Dh says if he ever sees which dog and owner it is he's going to follow them home and do a big stinky shit in their front garden.

Which is worse. Dog poo or cat poo? There's only one way to find out-FIGHT!!!
