Dog poo


It’s a direct effect of the number of folk buying dogs in lockdown. Some of them will be responsible, but there are a lot who aren’t.
 
It's shocking along the river and around the Marina. Lazy fuckers.

Must be those who walk their dogs really early or late when no ones about.
 
I always find it is worse in winter, certainly on the local field where I walk my dog. Don't know if it is people walking in the dark/low light, people walking hunched up against the cold, feeling like more effort in cold weather or just because fewer people are about so there is no peer pressure to pick it up. There has been a few times there has been some big ones in the entrance to the field, right next to the bin. Height of laziness and inconsideration that.
Funny how times change mind, no-one picked up their dog shit when I was a kid, and im only 42 (only!)
When did this change?
20-30 years ago. I remember one bit of path we used to nickname 'dog shit lane'. High fences either side, trees over the path so no wind to clear smell and always a load of dog shit over the path. Rarely anything there now, so it is far better.

I don’t know how people have the audacity to just walk away from it in full view of others. Same on my estate, same person all the time, every day.
 
Always a few to be collected on a Saturday morning before footy.

I always picked my own dogs up whilst it was still warm.

No chance I’m picking someone else’s up stone cold.
 
Aye, someone had a full on argument with him. Denied it of course. So we reported him to the council. They shoved a letter through his door. Has t done it since but probs moved to somewhere else.
Needs the shit shoved through his door.
I've always thought there should be a 3 strikes policy for it like.

£100 Fine, £500 Fine then a ban from owning dogs.

It's just lazy & selfish behaviour.
And a lifetime ban at that.
 
Does no one say owt to them?
I have been known to walk up to people being really cheerful, "Oh did you forget your poo bags, I've done that before, awful isn't it, don't worry here" and hand them one. It really throws people. If you start an argument them people are defensive and argue back. But someone being nice and helpful leaves them thinking they can't give an aggressive answer back so they just pick it up. Probably then throw it in the bushes when I'm gone, but it is funny to watch the dilemma on their faces.

I've never understood that. We live beside the rugby pitches near St. Michael's Church in Houghton, you can see where people have picked up the poop in a bag, thrown it into the trees or over the railings by the road. They then leave the field via the 2 exits where there are large bins🤷‍♂️.
 
What about Horses,

the wagon ways I used to use to my in laws was always covered in horse shite, massive amounts, in the dark on my bike used to throw the stuff up everyway if you didn't see it in time.

But my main pet hate is the bloody cats that use my garden as a toilet, sick of cleaning that up.

But yes, dog owners should just clean up after their dogs, its not hard to do and only takes a second, feed them proper food and its not too bad to be fair, give them a bad diet expect a "nasty one" to clean up lol

In terms of sheer numbers, aye.

Really hacks me off. Only seen it happen once, personally, woman on her phone with a spaniel type thing.

Tried to excuse herself that she didn’t see it because she was on her phone:

1) If your dog is off its lead and you’re doing something which means you’re now not aware of what it’s doing, that’s irresponsible.

2) I saw you look round at your dog shitting at least twice.
 
It's not that I refuse to pick it up ,it's more to the fact I physically can't . Absolutely rotten like, especially them big sloppy ones, one of the reasons I wouldn't have a dog
