To all the people who pick up their dog’s shit with a little plastic bag and then throw it away. Why the fuck are you putting biodegradable poo in a non-biodegradable plastic bag only to throw it in the waste bin. Or better yet, throw it in the trees so bags of shit can decorate our city.
This goes for anyone who complains about dogs shitting in places. They are dogs for christ’s sake. That’s what the do, get over it. So what if you have to walk around dog shit or you might occasionally step in it. It rains enough in this city that it gets washed away in a couple days! It’s also an insignificant issue of public health compared the wasteful trash used to contain dog shit.
Fuck all of you and your ridiculous, sterile lives

People seriously throw bags of dogshit into trees?
I mean, I’m sure it happens, just I’ve never seen it. I’m sure there are probably people out there smart enough to understand that no one wants to walk in poo, yet not quite smart enough to get that treed shit is not a vast improvement.
You dumb shit it doesn’t wash away in a couple days. Unless it’s on a hill it’ll stay there for at least a week, which is great if someone’s adding to the fun every goddamn day.
And yes Mole, people do that. I walk a friend’s dog in Rainbow Haven for him, and aside from the dozens of shit piles on and along the boardwalk(and it’s winter, so they can stay there for MONTHS), there’s multiple tied up bags left on the side.
Dog shit, and crap from other needlessly domesticated animals living in the city, can be a big issue when it washes into the watershed. If you NEED to have a pet in the city, you should be at least able to put it in the trash to contribute to the solid waste problem instead of poisoning the water supply… Ideally, I suppose you could compost or burn it instead of sending it to the landfill, but not everyone has this option. Think about this before you go buy that cute little shit factory!
Actually, under HRM’s waste diversion plan, dog shit goes in the trash, so technically, they’re doing the right thing by putting it in the right place (little baggie and all, as plastics need to be clean and dry for recycling). For once, I actually agree with BSB on this one; put it in your backyard compost (it’s full of nitrogen!) or burn it, if you don’t want to do that, it goes in the trash. I shouldn’t have to step in a steaming pile of dog shit every two feet.
The OP is either the automobile exhaust nut or a relative.
why don’t you eat some of that shit you like bitching so much about?
I let my dog shit wherever it wants. there is no law that I know of to clean it up. I might clean it up if its in the middle of a walkway, or on a sidewalk…but if its on your lawn, fuck off I just fertilized it!
Gustav is a douche who probably doesn’t have a front lawn for other people’s dogs to shit on. Damn, there goes an opportunity to use asshat.
Gustav, you inconsiderate prick.
fine example you’re setting there….
“A dog owner is guilty of a violation of HRM By-Law A-300, if at any time their dog, among other things, defecates on any property other than that of its owner and the owner does not immediately remove the defecation. Owners of assistance dogs are exempt from this provision of the By-Law.” If a few people got big fines, there would be much less critter shit on the street.

I use the biodegradable doggy poop bags that I keep clipped to the end of my dogs leash. So no one has to step in her poo AND I help the environment. Yay me. :S Meanwhile, I’m picking up shit haha
