It's legal to cycle a bike, it's not legal to let your dog sh*te on a path.

You really didn't get the point I was making, right?
I'm starting to think engaging in a conversation with you might be a bad idea :pac:

Time to start issuing restricted number of dog licences under strict criteria.

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.

No I got the point you're making, it's just a stupid point to honest.

If everyone threw their crap everywhere on public roads, "quality of life" would deteriorate.

If some of the stories I’ve heard are true, it’s not just dog dirt. If you’re a cab driver, taking a toilet break might cost you your queue spot at the taxi rank ... :eek:

Ah! So that's what all the empty Lucozade bottles in the rear footwell are about.
Handy shape I suppose.

Pearse st and its surrounds houses loads of irresponsible scumbags. Litter everywhere too. I always see dogs on the balconies around there too, you shouldn't be allowed keep a dog in a flat ffs.

Bought a house in 2018 but prior to that we lived in a duplex apartment in Finglas. We adopted a terrier who got a walk every morning, then another as soon as we got home from work, then a bathroom break before bed, plus occasional trips out at lunchtime when my partner was able to get home on her lunchbreak (she worked about 15 mins drive away). He was happy out and very rarely soiled the gaff. Conversely the complex was full of scrotes who left poor creatures on cold balconies yapping their heads off for the whole day.

You can keep a dog in a flat/apartment but it has to be the right type of dog and you have to be a responsible owner (I pick up after my dogs, always).

Bit harsh.

For a first offence you could just clamp the dog.

So I spotted a woman picking up a dog poo on the street earlier, kept an eye on her, and when she got to my house she threw it at the bottom of my hedge, thinking she was out of sight.
Gave her a small bollicking out the window and she picked it up, claiming she had no choice as there's no bins. Posh Clontarf accent on her as well.
The scumbag then just dumped it on the street again when she got further away and thought she was out of sight.

Nothing to add other than I ended up with cat shít on my hands working in the garden the other day. Wasn’t fupping happy.

People don't care about your "quality of life" - or mine - or anyones. Only themselves or those closest. That's life and applies to everything.

Wake up to that. Sure take what Effects just posted. Same woman would call someone a cu*t if they threw the same in her garden. No one cares.

Had noticed a particularly bad patch along my regular walk route earlier in the year, despite there being two dog poo bins on either side of the road. It was a road into a housing estate with a big footfall of children going to the school nearby, and people walking to and from work/the shops. Some of the ****e was calked into the footpath the whole time too.

I took to one of the local by and sell groups on FB (that allowed off-topic discussion if required) condemning those who don't clean up after their dogs, mentioning "fur-babies" to those who are particularly precious about their pets, and it got a huge response. I noticed a gradual clean-up of the path over the next couple of weeks. I don't know whether it was guilt-trip from serial offenders, or a concerted effort from the council after an online backlash, but I was delighted with the improvement.

Even though I wouldn't be a resident of the town (living out in the sticks), it still maddened me to see it left in such a way. Such an easy thing to address too- even if picking up dog poo is a bit icky.

Refusing to stop even when the dog needs a shít so it is forced to do it like a husky, on the run.

I had a dog who used to poop like that of her own choice. Funnily enough she was a Rottweiler. But on a bog standard lead, not a chain. She used to get nervous when crossing the road, start dumping and running at the same time.

We referred to it as a "shít & run".

A number of times a car came along while I was bagging a 4-part crap from one side of the road to the other. Must have thought either me or the dog was not the full shilling.

I'm convinced she wasn't mind you.

Cats will still take a **** somewhere. My Dad’s garden seems to be the local spot for a couple of cats. It’s awful to clean up after.
