people that don't clean their dogs crap up

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.

Wow, that showed me...

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.

Or an incredibly evolved dog with a social conscience

I always clean up after my dogs, it's just gross not to. The number of bins has definitely decreased over the last couple of years, which is very annoying.

That just makes it sound like it'd be ok for your dog to poo in someone's garden as long as you kicked some dirt over it. If you'd be happy to clean it up that's good, but if your cat roams you have no idea whose garden it might have pooed in.
