Urgent Appeal To Selfish Dog Owner

Two Boys

I would like to Appeal once again to the Selfish and Careless dog owners who do not clean up their dog's litter. My 6 year old Son knelt on some dog s**t while playing on the green with his friends yesterday.
He was extremely upset. It was on his leg and shoes. He ran into the house, thus transferring the mess indoors. The smell so so vile that he also vomited.
I don't need to discribe how unpleasant the clean-up job was for me! and all because the Dog owner won't carry a plastic bag and put their Dogs mess in the bin provided. OK Rant Over....:mad::mad::mad:

Which green ? Where did this happen ?

As unlikely as it is that the dog owner will be reading here they certainly won't know it was their dog without some detail ? Why not approach the dog owner directly ?

Or should we all just assume this park is in Charlesland and you just came here for a pointless rant ?

homer911

Can I add to this list, the dog owners who decide that its too much trouble to actually carry their bagged dog crap back to a bin, and decide to suspend it from the nearest tree!

NegativeCreep

I know it's not meant to be funny but that's the funniest thing I've read all day :pac:

But yeah, seriously, dog shit sucks man.

Oh well! That probably says more about you then doesn't it?

Rasmus

That's horrible.
It might not have been an irresponsible dog owner though, but a dog just rambling around by itself. Saying that, the management companies could step up and install some small bins around the estate - that is something that Charlesland is easily lacking.

BTW I was pleased to come across a newly installed dog waste bin yesterday in Charlesland.

What are you confused about here? You haven't noticed dogs wandering about without an owner?

In responce to Swanner, It was on the Green in Charlesland between the wood and the court, but it could happen anywhere as this problem in not restricted to any one area, it is a problem all over Charlesland. Yes, I did have a rant but maybe if more people speak up about this issue some of the careless dog owners will cop-on?
NegativeCreep and Plasterit up, you shocked me with your replies, if this is how you feel don't reply at all, Toxocara causes blindness in Children, Fact. This disease is caught from contact with dog and cat poo, fact.
And maybe if you knew that the real dangers you would not be so quick to mock me!

Sure. I was confused that you said crap from unattended dogs wasn't due to irresponsible owners. Maybe you didn't mean it that way, but you seemed to imply that the owner of such a dog wasn't responsible for where it crapped.

No, owners are indeed responsible! I was saying that perhaps the problem of loose dogs is as big of a problem as owners not clearing up dogcrap.
I hate to see dogs off doing their own thing, they risk getting hit by cars and/or getting up to all kinds of things.
Dog poo on the roads and greens is a major talking point in Greystones - dog control less so. Seems like we can do little about the latter.

Look, we were all 6 at one stage and we've all stepped in **** or slide tackled someone and gotten dog **** all over themselves. It's happened to all my friends and it definitely is not a new thing. Your child is not going to get toxicara. Toxicara infection rates are 2 in 1 million.

Charleston is no worse than anywhere else either.

BigElf

Good to see some of us can tolerate our neighbours blatant disregard for our common areas.

Nothing can be more annoying than stepping in dog dirt and having to clean it from your shoe – whether you are six or sixty six.

I propose we help offending dog owners out by picking up after their dogs, packaging it up and popping it in their letterbox.

Fi Fi

Wow. Yet another example of someone posting to this website, and getting abuse for it.

Love to know where the figures come from. I got it when I was a kid from a neglectful dog owner, and know 2 others.

I've also had the experience of cleaning it from my sons hair, hands etc.

This is supposed to be a site to share information. Let me know if it continues to be a forum where certain people just come on and abuse others, and I can redirect them to a much more suitable site.

Splendour

I'm shocked at the ignorance of some of the replies on this thread!

I don't have a dog and one of the reasons is because I can't face cleaning up after it. Why should I then, and others (those who don't have dogs & those that do and clean up after them) have to put up with cleaning dog poo from our shoes, cars, houses when it is not our responsibility?

Am also curious if those who don't have a problem with dog poo in public areas are dog owners?

Am also curious if these people have a problem with chewing gum and litter on our streets?

walnut grove

I suggest calling the warden. They will take all loose unattended dogs away. That will put the word out. The next one I catch ****ting will receive said **** back in through their letterbox so take note readers.

I tell you what, regardless of whether I left sh1t on the grass or not, if it was put back in my letterbox, I'd make that person eat it.

Scoop the poop and you'll have no bother then fella

Unbelievable response, just unbelievable...

When I am out walking, I have to constantly watch where I'm walking or I could end up with poo on my shoes so for a child playing on grass it is ridiculous to say they won't do it again. If dog owners don't pick up after their dogs there is a very good chance the child will do it again!

Keep it civil ladies and gents.

Two people have already received warnings over silly posts....

Sure little roderick is the apple of her eye and he would never foolishly step on ****.
In my day we grabbed a dock leaf and scrubbed it off,then used the outside tap to clean our hands and shoes as we knew we would get a roasting if we dragged it inside.

I had 2 issues with the OP and I called them out.

The post served no purpose other then a rant. If you want a problem solved, take it up with the people directly. Posting anonomously on boards will not magically resolve the issue for you. And people from charlesland regurlarly post about "the park" and "the grove" and assume we all know it's charlesland. In the context of the OP it's particularly important to state the area you're taking about.

I have stood in dog crap loads of times as have my kids. It's unpleasant but I accept the fact that dogs will crap and the fact that it's 2012 doesn't change that. Dog's don't understand this new fangled political correctness.

Anyway, if you want to fix it, speak to the dog owners, drop leaflets, call the dog warden, organise a Saturday cleanup etc etc. Anything, but a pointless rant on boards will not make a blind bit of difference and the crap will still be there long after the thread is closed.

Nah, this is nothing to do with 2012 and political correctness. You don't see the sheer amount of dog crap in other parts of Europe as you do here. Greystones is particularly bad (along with Seapoint). Of course dogs will crap but seriously, this laissez-faire attitude of some Irish dog owners is beyond ridiculous. While a rant may not lead to dealing with this problem, not giving a crap doesn't either!

OK so i'll say it again. Give a crap and do something about it. Something real, something positive. Have a weekly dog crap cleaning party in your estate !! Anything !!

But the lazy attitude of "post it on boards and the issue will go away" is unfortunately all too prevalent around here sometimes.

So Rasmus and Two Boys....what are you going to do to address the problem ?

Was just trying to make a point, again, that not cleaning up after Dogs is wrong. Dog owners need to take on the responsibilities that come with pet ownership i.e cleaning up after them and keep them on a lead.
Yes we all have stepped on Dog **** at some stage.
We used to all smoke on Buses, and drive kids round with no car seats, it is no longer acceptable to do these things.

OP was bringing up a community concern and you have no idea if she has called the warden, cleaned up numerous craps etc. You, however, seem to be trolling a thread.

lee_baby_simms

Absolutely disgusting. If only all dog owners were aware of the sheer chaos dog dirt can wreak when it comes in contact with clothing/carpets - especially when its fresh.

lee_baby_simms

Remember how dog **** in the 1980's was often white and crumbly? That was much easier to cope with.

You say her child is not going to get Toxicara but yet you add statistics that people actually do get it! How do you know her child will not be one of those that do?

And where is Charleston? Because if its full of dog poo I'm going to stay away from there too:eek:

OK my comment about telling the dogs was facetious but the fact that you can't respond in a sensible and rational manner is hardly reason to accuse me of trolling.

Two dogs has had plenty of opportunity to tell us what actions she has taken.

Oh and I see you have both failed to answer my question.

Annasopra

Swanner,

Please Drop the facetiousness and antagonist attitude.

The Bishop Basher

I completley disagree that i'm being antagonistic but i'll bow out of this thread regardless so everyone can agree with each other about what a terrible problem it is without actually doing anything about it :rolleyes:

IanL

There will be incidents where a stray dog will do his business and that's unavoidable but for people out walking with dogs only fair to clean up if he/she goes to toilet on the greens.

The thread seemed to turn into tit for tat rows betwen people trying to wind each other up so moderator probably best it's closed and people use the head.

No point in the discussion going any further.

I have two dogs so does that qualify me as having twice the want ?! Or want and a bit ?! I always clean up after mine - after that the dog Nazis can stick it up their proverbials, I think it was GB Shaw who said ' the more I get to know people the more I love my dogs', with ya there GB ! Who, astoundigly enough despite being the owner of several dogs was intelligent, articulate, and a prodigious and incredibly successful writer ....... and trust me, dog hair in your cornflakes isnt so bad 😄
