Dog sh*t

Zebra3

Have I missed something or has an exemption being granted for dog owners to pick up their dog sh1t?

Loads of it all over the place atm.

It's probably just that selfish people aren't bothering now there's fewer people out and about.

What you're seeing is the result of people who never walk their dog now needing an excuse to get out of the house.

A lot of very irresponsible people have dogs.....not enough resources to enforce existing laws. (Penalties need to be higher / education needs to be better)

It’s a real issue in shïthole parts of Dublin like East Wall, Ringsend, Finglas, Ballybough etc. The semi-feral Jackeen shouldn’t be allowed own a dog.

Lots of muckers up in the big smoke Jonnie, but I’m sure they are all responsible dog owners.

Clueless post. If you think this is consigned to Dublin you are delusional. Here in Carlow Town its just as bad. Worse still are the idiots that bag the dog dirt and leave it on the ground. What is that all about!???

It's not just bad areas. I've noticed a huge increase in people picking up their dog's shít with a doggy bag, and then throwing the filled bag on the street when they are out of view.

Or better still hanging it on a tree or a fence

Standard behavior I'm afraid.. don't think it's anything new.

Top marks especially go to those dog owners who do pick it up but leave the bags lying where they got filled.. obviously they didn't want the bags in their cars. Shur didn't they do enough I suppose..

I confronted a guy about that in the city centre. He threw it into the street in the bag. His excuse was he was putting it in the street for the street sweeper to pick up and said, "what else am I supposed to do with it?".
When I said put it in the next bin and called him a scumbag he threatened to punch me.

Oh I’m sure it’s an issue in other parts of the country as well. Carlow town has a huge amount of scumbags, and scumbags let their dogs shït everywhere. I was just referencing Dublin as I live here.

It’s amazing seeing the number of poor dog “handling” in the parks lately. Idiots with their, poorly trained, dog off the lead and, worse still, morons who don’t seem to “grasp” how to use the lock on those weak little leads.

The one constant is that you still see the urban legend dragging his “restricted breed” by an actual chain along the footpath. Refusing to stop even when the dog needs a shít so it is forced to do it like a husky, on the run.

And do you think the hard chaw in the tracksuit is going to pick up that crap that has now spread itself along six feet of footpath? Not a chance, too busy looking “menacing“ for that.

In my old job I used to walk through a park to go to work every day.
You'd see all sorts of dog walkers. Sure some people do pick it up but you see a lot of people who wouldn't. You get a bit of a laugh. Some will slyly look around when their dog is doing its business and if they think no one is watching away they go.

The same park removed a dog **** bin in one part. So what did people do? They threw the plastic bags on the ground where the bin used to be. Loads of them thrown there over a few weeks. Even tho there are loads of regular bins around the park.

People don't care

Zebra3

Where I live isn’t full of scumbags nor posh people.

But as one poster noted, it seems to be people who have dogs, but don’t normally walk them, who are using their dogs as an excuse to get out of the house.

People always say they only do that because they will take it off on their way back and will be “bin it” then. And yet, still we see the bags tied to trees all over the place.

Went out in Carlow once, during my “student days”. Won’t be going back anytime soon. Those “scallion eaters“ are a wild bunch.

Honestly what did you expect to happen?
He's hardly going to say "sorry about that old chap, let me pick that up" ... Best to leave people to their own devices cause getting in to a fight over dog crap isnt worth it.

yeah i've noticed a considerable increase in the quantity of canine faeces adorning the pavement recently

In these circumstances, you are right. Emotions are running high.

In normal times I absolutely challenge anyone who doesn't pick it up. Loudly and publicly so that they hopefully feel some shame (I am 6 foot 5 though, and reasonably built, so dont mind the potential confrontation)

I always end up picking up other dogs shít. I only walk my area but theres some lazy shíts out there

Garlinge

I think we have barely had a drop of rain this past 3 weeks and this might contribute to the mess on the paths. A bit of a powerwash by council would be nice.... and think of the virus tracking along on peoples shoes.

Thelonious Monk

Yup I noticed this recently, it's all over St Anne's park in bags. Just f*cking leave it on the ground instead of putting it in a bag that takes 100s of years to decompose and puts chemicals into the earth!

This is a problem in Ireland, we never call anyone up on anything, littering, smoking on buses etc. I noticed when living in London that people will start shouting at people if they drop litter or stand in the way on an escalator or even cycling through red lights.
People get away with more here because we aren't confrontational.

Get embarrassed about behaving like a scum bag, pick it up and shuffle off.
That's what any decent scum bag would do.


Perfect example:

I've seen that before ^^^. That man is a hero, but the other fella should be fined into next week and given a few slaps! Disgusting behaviour.

The Tetrarch

I live in a gated community of 17 houses.
There is a small lawn where my two dogs do their business.
I bag it up, but find other bombs all over the place, and pick those up too.
Other people here have dogs. Apparently their dogs never go to the toilet.

Rub their nose in it.

Recently moved from Pearse Street, Dublin 2 to Dún Laoghaire. There must be 10x the amount of dogs being walked near where I live now, but 1/10th the amount of shíte. People are definitely the problem.
