people that don't clean their dogs crap up

Banjo String

Should be rounded up and force fed it on a slice of bread.

Collected the kids from the baby sitters, on the walk back (5 mins) to our house, dark evening etc and the 3 year old is walking ever so slightly behind me, pushing the baby in a buggy.

Shortly before home, she tells me "daddy I have muck on my shoes and hand". Turn round to see her hand plastered in dogs muck, and her week old shoes covered in it.

These things happen, granted. She was holding a little bag of jellies at the time so Needless to say could have been much worse.

Honestly though, what is it with people that don't bother their holes picking up after their dogs? Apart from the mess and smell, it literally could be life threatening where kids are concerned.

I've just cleaned her off, washed her hands and face several times, scrubbed the shoes she was wearing. Then I went out and cleaned up the shiite on the foot path that some irresponsible dog owner couldn't be bothered doing. (So no one else walks through it)

**** :mad:

would it not be better to teach her not to pick up stuff thats on the footpath?

It's embarrassing I suppose plus its Shoite
Don't think I've ever seen anyone pick it up.

wandatowell

I've seen it plenty down my way, people walking their dogs with a bag with the dog sh*t in it.

It is disgusting when there is dog **** on footpaths but its become a lot less in the passed 3+ years than it was before.

Its not really, I have a dog and get the wee bags and I always pick it up (granted if she has ran off into the middle of the bushes or something then I leave it cause nobody going near it!

They only put up bins for dog crap in Letterkenny last month before I'd have to carry it for the 2k walk home

She didn't pick it up dannie, she reached down to feel what was on the soles of her shoes ad 'they were slippy' .

I warned her about picking items off the ground, and to old her that she should never touch any dirt ion the soles of her shoes.

She's only turned 3 a month though. Still very young.

Agree 100% OP, told a woman once, who was standing there, waiting for her dog to have a sh1te on the public footpath, that it was worth €150.00 fine, she shrugged her shoulders, the cow. Next time I'll be videoing her and giving it to the community warden.

Why people can't carry a goddamn plastic bag in their pocket and lift it after is beyond me.

Came home one day with sh1te all over the wheels of the pram, had to carry it through the house to hose someones elses filth off a baby's pram. Grrrrrrrrr

My rant is to those irresponsible dog owners, I understand there are plenty of dog owners that pick up after their dogs.

I've never picked up after my dog but in my defence he always goes into a bush or under heavy growth to do his business when I'm walking him. I'm not climbing into a ditch to pick up no shit.. I don't care who that annoys or offends!

I have a rough idea of the culprit.

Witnessed him several times watching his dog crapping in our estate , then just sauntering off without a care in the world, dog on lead too.

Old guy late 60s/early 70s. Doesn't even live in here. Seems he walks his dog here just to relieve itself. He was challenged by the local school not so long ago after the dog did it's business right outside. Shrugged his shoulders and walked on apparently.

Alright fair enough I guess thats understandable. Kids don't relate X to be bad until later when they are (for lack of a better word) conditioned.

Yeah we had one bin on the entire walk that we pass at the very beginning/end but this special one has bags in it if you forget/don't have one, its a nice addition to a very popular route

Video the clown on your phone and report him to the council community warden, a few fines of €150.00 will soon soften his cough.

I walked past the Ulster Bank one day a couple of years ago and saw a massive pile of excrement in the corner. I'm fairly sure it was from a human because there was about five sheets of toilet paper on top of it.

Me?

I make my dog eat it. Saves me cleaning it up. I feel guilty though when we get home and he licks the kids faces.

Er, he's not being racist. He's used an analogy about giving birth, poo is brown, therefore the 'child' would be brown in colour. A racist discriminates or holds prejudice based on race.

Don't read too deeply into someone taking a ****e.

Confession time...I'm a reformed offender.

In recent years I guess I just came to the realisation that leaving the dog **** without picking it up was just, well, a ****ty thing to do. I always carry nappy bags with me and always pick up.

Anyway, OP, if the offender in your case has any conscience he should respond to a little encouragement. Suggestions of videoing or taking photos are worthy of consideration also...how about you start by politely explaining what happend with your 3 year old and outline in a non confrontational way how easy it would be for the Cnut to pick up his dogs **** compared to how stressful etc it is for the unwitting victims! If he acts the dick then at least you've tried.

The owners would do it, because all the w*nkers who don't would be dead.

Its a £100 pound fine in Scotland for dog littering, where my brother lives in Dunblane and my sister in Dundee, they have dog litter bins provided in most parts, its nice and litter free, no furiously cleaning your shoes on some grass verge. The sooner its made law here the better, the streets of Galway can be diabolical sometimes with dog poo.

Wouldn't poo bags be better than wee bags though?

I have dogs and will always pick up poo on footpaths etc.
the problem is the lack of bins to dispose of though and I have spent time walking miles with smelly dog poo. It's not exactly encouraging people to pick it up is it!
So yes enforce the fines but also provide disposal points!
I love my dogs and will pick up their **** no problem but at least give me a bin or two to dispose of it like the uk! Dog poop bins on most walk routes!

What about cat poo also very toxic??

I was walking our fella a few months back, and he did his business right up on the hedge on the side of the road. We live rurally, and it was well off the road, so I was going to leave it. As he was squatting, this young one on a horse pulled up beside me, and she proceeded to give out yards to me about just leaving the dog poo there. Just as she was getting onto about how disgusting it was, her horse dropped a load right in the middle of the road. Needless to say, I was less than concerned about her pithy little opinion, and told her to jog on.

OP it's almost but not quite as bad as the parents who dispose of their children's nappies at the side of the road or on the beach during summer months.

If dogs were feed a raw diet with plenty of bone content their sh!t would be white and easily disposed off. It's the manufactured rubbish that we give them for convience that creates the messy stuff.

I am fcuking sick of it. Seriously, if you will not pick up after a dog, don't bring it in public. I am fit to get a nappy bag and fling the stuff back at owners these days. Between my 4yo and I trying to dodge it like landmines all over the path, and the fact I have spent more time washing buggy wheels than washing the buggy itself I am just sick of it.

And outside my apartment is hell. There is a lovely green area for kids to play in, there are houses nearby and the ásswipes think it is that our green area is their dogs toilet. And I swear, the next fécker from "Dogs Unleashed" I see letting their dog around our area, I am going to ram a bag of their dogs shíte down their throat. They actually drive here to let their dogs off the lead to shíte. That is dedication to being a baxtard!

Think you're completely missing the point.

Its not about aesthetics. Its about disease and blindness etc.

Even though cat-sh1t is also dangerous, it's not like people take cats for a walk. Any cat I've had buried its poo also. If I witnessed a cat of mine sh1tting in a public place I would clean it up. I walk my brother's dog a lot and always scoop the poop.
The existence of catsh1t doesn't negate the need for cleaning up dogsh1t.

Seen a guy with a cat on a lead yesterday morning, the cat only loved it. My second time seeing it.

My cat is convinced it's a dog. It heels next to the buggy when I am out with the kids, chases my son on his scooter and even waits under the trees near a road a couple of hundred meters from my house when I am dropping my son to school. He is in the same spot every morning/afternoon when I get back.
