To put dog **** bags on top of car?

[thinkingaboutfostering]

Sat outside my horses field waiting for the carrier. Car pulls up and two women get out and take 6 dogs for a walk up the path. 3 times so far (they are still in sight at the mo) have they stopped bagged up the dog poo and proceeded to drop the bags on the floor and walk off.

Would I be unreasonable to pick up Sian bags and dump them on their car bonnet with a note saying to take them home with them?

Oh this is such a bugbear of mine. I live in the country and see bagged shit everywhere. If you're not going to take it, just stick and flick it instead (there's plenty of sheep, horse and cow poo around anyway). Just don't understand the mentality of those who bag it and leave it.

Or just take it with you Monster

My kids don't always stay on the path and I'd like to be able go l use my local public spaces with out having to decontaminate the children when we get home.
It's disgusting - makes me want to throw up.

The many people who do it around me do not come back and pick it up, some put it around the base of trees for some reason....

Please update us,,,,

Poogate!

I doubt they'll start picking it up if you leave crap on their car. Maybe you could leave a note that isn't so passive aggressive explaining why they should pick it up.

Do it, but leave a note explaining politely that they are potentially extremely harmful to horses.

Fuck being polite.
There is bugger all polite about leaving bags of shit about the place.

Well done OP!!

Seriously, what is wrong with some people?!? This drives me mad, I've lost count how many times I've picked up someone else's bagged poo when I've been out walking - why go through the effort of bagging it if you're just going to leave it!?

Horses die eating bagged poo. Happened recently near us. I'd confront them. If I caught someone doing that near my horse I'd go mad! The farmer adjacent to us recently lost three cows after they ate I bagged poo. People need to be made aware of their action on others.

I have one of these:

You can hook a few bags of poo to it to save you having to carry the poop. I have one attached to all my leads.
Before this I used to have a carabiner and dog poo bags with handles and just used to clip the poo bags to the carabiner. There are plenty of ways to avoid carrying poop bags if you put your mind to it!

I'm really glad you did this and I am a dogowner. I bet they weren't going to pick the bags up on the way back. The forest I walk in (on my doorstep) is festooned with other people's full dog poo bags. Sometimes I nobly pick theirs up and take it home with me as it is so disgusting and gives us all a bad name but the sheer numbers are against me. The reason (feeble excuse) why people hang them in trees, etc is because the bags are biodegradable and degrade quickest in day/sunlight. The other thing that drives me mad is the awful dogowners who walk their dogs very early in the morning or after dark when no-one much is about and don't even attempt to pick up the poo so the rest of us have to step round it on the pavement when we come out to go to work. My previous dog used to come upon other dogs' poo and stop and gaze at it pointedly and look at me - not sure if she wanted me to pick it up but she certainly disapproved that it was there.

Bagging and leaving it makes zero sense.

I guess there are a lot of really stupid people in the world.

The reason (feeble excuse) why people hang them in trees, etc is because the bags are biodegradable and degrade quickest in day/sunlight.

Well what is the point in that? So they hang it in a tree, the bag degrades and then the poo falls to the ground. Much better for all concerned to just leave the poo on the ground in the first place.

Bless you Mrsjoyful, I for one support you in your doomed struggle to pick up all the poop!

I do this and then just pick the bags up on the way back. I have two dogs and a baby to juggle, can't carry poop as well 🙂

Op, please come back to update!

Also, did you leave a note?

( I wouldn't leave it bagged near other animals though, as pp said about them eating it and getting hurt.)

People who bag it and then just leave it there are very strange, it makes no sense at all.

Is the coast clear. What happened?

People often forget their bags. People opposite are blissfully unaware they have a poo bag tied to their hedge.

This boils my piss, why bother bagging it to just put it right back where it was? Some thoughtful people even dangle the bags from trees like little ornaments. Lovely.

Dirty beggers !

OrangeHorse - 2 dogs a baby and 2 toddlers still pick up and carry the pooh if you cant walk baby and dogs together and carry the pooh you probably would have a real issue if your dogs were attacked on escaped. Would you leave the baby's nappy to collect later too?

If you have every seen what happens when birds get plastic you would no even leaving it up high for 15 minutes is not only nasty for humans to see and smell but can kill animals.

So I picked bags up put them on the bonnet of the car and left a note explaining that bags could kill animals if they tried to eat them ect.
Then got on with the horses

The women then came bag screaming at the dogs which were running everywhere and not listening to them at all. One came into the horses field as well. Dog were eventually loaded into the cars and they then must of found the note and the bags (I was in the barn at this point). I then heard them calling me a cheeky f*r and were mouthing off in the street. My landlord happened to come out to see me and so they discovered where I was and started having a go. How dare I put poo bags on their car, they were going to pick them up, why didn't I just talk to them. That type of thing. I explained that I pick upwards of 20 bags of dog poo every day from where it's dumped outside my field. She repeated that she was picking it up on the way back and that she too picks up bags others have left and how dare I suggest she wouldn't and I should have talked to her when she got back to her car. I responded that I had no way of knowing if she would pick up the bags but if she really was also picking up bags that others were leaving then that was great but I was a little confused as to why she was so cross with me for doing so. I also pointed out that even if she was picking them up on her way back that it was not a good example to be setting and also that I had no idea how long they would all be gone for and that I had to leave soon plus I had no way of knowing how they would respond and that judging how they were talking to me now why would I feel safe to talk to them about it when returned.

They carried on yelling at me but I just walked off back into the barn (they couldn't follow as the fates were locked) and one of them shouted that they'd leave the poo bags in the field gate from now on. They then drove off. I then walked my dog up the track and there were another 7 bags all the same type as the ones they had been using and still warm! So they hadn't picked up on the rest of the walk either!

I have their registration numbers and if I spot them again I'll report them!

Well done op def want to know what happened!

Good of you to return their lost property to them!

We visit a place that has several Poo Posts where you can hang a full bag to collect on your way back (the car park has a dog waste bin). It’s a one way in/out type of place which helps make it more successful I think. Less bags in trees now!

I do know that I’m not alone in collecting other bags abandoned on the post and disposing of them with mine though.

Well done you

(I type slow! I hadn’t seen your update)
