People get away with more here because we aren't confrontational.

Like I could be walking down the road and if someone litters? So be it. I'm not the litter warden. I'm not their ma or da or a Garda. I know some are gonna say how that's a terrible attitude B.A. but it's not. Mind your own business. Besides let's say you did pull someone up over it and they say sorry and bin it. What's gonna stop them the next day etc from littering again? Except this time maybe they'll look around first? People are gonna go what they want to do.

If people were pulled up on this more often, I would think many of them wont litter as much. Some will continue to do so of course as they are beyond reproach.

People would have to do a multi day dog handling and responsibility course done and if they are caught not picking up after the dog or not regularly exercising them they would lose the licence, dog seized.
