to think that dogs should be outlawed in towns (and yes I know AIBU but I'm cross)

[LadyBiscuit]

Once again today there is copious quantities of dog shit on my street. A nice wet squidgy one just at the part of the pavement which is half taken up by a tree so you can't really avoid it. My DS scooted straight through it

If there isn't anywhere to exercise them other than up and down the street and of course they are bound to want a poo, then AIBU to think they should be banned?

I know there are responsible dog owners in cities. But round here, they either seem to let their dogs shit willy nilly and don't clear it up or if they do, they leave their neatly tied bags next to the trees on the pavement. It's revolting.

I am sick to death of having to weave down the street to avoid the steaming piles (or the skids where someone else has been unfortunate enough to step in one.

Grrrrr

You all obviously live in areas where people have very little consideration for their surroundings. Where I used to live nearly every other house had a dog and hardly any dog poo on streets. You would always see dog owners walking around with their little bags of poo (me included).

This was in a large village, am about to move back into town, where apparently there are lots of dogs in the area so will be interesting to see if there will be more poo.

ALso if any of you are cat owners then you have absolutly no right to moan about dog poo. (unless you clear your cats poo up)

I agree with the OP based solely on me reading the thread title and nothing more

My dog eats my cat poo. Very efficient recycling.

YANBU. I loathe and want to slap inconsiderate dog owners.

BUT - we are not the only species on the planet. It kind of annoys me when people get het up about animal droppings. They live here too.

Saying that, it would save a lot of disgruntlement if we could get dogs to use the toilet... I mean, come on. We can train them to sniff out cancer in it's early stages, but not to sit on a lavatory. Ridiculous.

Loving the train them to go on the loo idea McSnail i now have a mental image of walking into the bathroom to find one of my weimaraners sat on the loo, paper in paws and giving me a disgusted look!!!

[LadyBiscuit]

I'm sure you can train cats to use the loo can't you?

I have got cats but I am a very keen gardener so they use a litter tray - poo should be kept under control
