NOOOO!!! It’s the commons! Am I the only one who smells that shit! I think my puke smells better than that! Seriously, what the fuck is that rank seething into my nostrils, and what are we going to do about it?

  1. It’s all of the dog shit irresponsible people didn’t bother picking up during the winter months beginning to make its appearance. SMU campus smells like that these days too.

  2. I walked by the south side of the commons last night and smelled the same thing. I thought it may had been the horses from the Bengal Lancers. But it was stronger than those stables ever smelled in the past.

  3. It’s not just the Commons – it’s EVERYWHERE. I wish we could paper bag it all, light it on fire and bift it at the dog owners’ doors.

  4. The Lancers actually smells nice and horsey compared to that crap. Great, so now we have dog shit and people shit funk everywhere.

  6. Wasn’t it in San Francisco where they had the same problem until they passed a bylaw? People should be fined.

  9. yeah it gross alright. I have a pretty high tolerance for that sorta thing ( foul odors ) and when I walked past there a day or two ago I was literally gagging.

    But easy on the dog owners folks, a few upicked up dog craps can’t make that kinda smell. Its the human waste spilled from porta-potties from the concerts last summer. Now that the ground is staring to soften and the ice cover is gone from the commons being down wind of it is nausiating. I can’t imagine how the people who live across the street are dealing

  13. you think that’s bad!
    Wait until Kiss come and all the depends-wearing geezers stank the place up with their overactive bladders and uncontrollable BM’s.

    I have yet to smell (or apparently even taste) the foul “bog of eternal stench” but I am inclined to believe it was likely the concert in combination with dogs as I haven’t heard this complaint in springs past. Perhaps I’m wrong, at which point I will reconsider my inclination… but until then, it’s country-poo.

  14. Simple…No Dogs allowed in the City…
    An apartment or a house with no yard is no place for a dog anyway. Those fucking shitting machines stink.

    Bylaws my ass. Bylaws are just something created to slow down the people that complain about everything.

  15. Scott, aren’t you glad you live in a free country? Why not help keep it that way? “Bylaws my ass”… agreed!

  16. No Dogs allowed in the city?? C’MON! Why don’t we ban every damn shitting animal why were at it!?

    I’m a responsible dog owner and clean up after my pup. I carry around one of those plastic dog bones that carry biodegradable plastic bags for dog poo and have it attached to her leash at all times. All owners should have one of these and yes, I agree, fines should be enforced! I don’t want to step in shit or smell it either!!

  19. I assumed it was our wonderful sewage treatment plant in the throes of another malfunction. If that stink is cause by dog shit the dog owners of Halifax have to smarten the fuck up and start scooping.
