Know what’s worse than letting your dog crap and not picking it up? Picking it up and then throwing the plastic bag on the side of the road. At least when it’s out of the bad it has a chance to get washed away after a while. Your poop-soup bags will be around long after you and your dog go to that great park in the sky. USE YOUR HEADS PEOPLE!

That’s “lesson,” not “lessons.” Finger slipped.
It’s wierd because if you’re not going to dispose of the bag properly, why even go to the trouble of bagging it? I guess so that if people step in it, they won’t get poo on their shoes? I guess that’s better than not doing anything…but still…kinda lazy.
I HATE THAT, I walk a lot and see all these bags scattered with poo why bother picking it up and leaving the plastic, they would be better off leaving the poo to fertilize the lawn, NOT that I’m suggesting people stop picking up after their dogs, just that it would be the lesser of two evils!!
there’s a couple of people in my area with 2 Cocker spaniels. Their thing is to just throw the bad onto the garbage if its garbage day. Now if they put it in my trashcan, no biggie, but it gets thrown next to, and then of course the garbage guys don’t take it. I almost caught them once in the act. then they will learn to pick up after their pets.
As a fellow considerate poop-scooper, I thought I’d pass on some good news. 6 months ago, Shubie Park opened the Off-Leash dog area, and while I was there today, they actually had someone walking the park tagging areas in both the on and off leash areas where unscooped pooh was found! So non-scoopers beware, you may in for a loss of park privledges.. or… something. I’ve yet to find out the consequences they’re putting place. haha
It makes MUCH more sense to just leave the poop.. Especially if you are going to collect it in a non recylable plastic bag and just LEAVE it on the ground… Thats just freakin dumb!
This boggles my brain, I didn’t know people wasted all that time bagging up dog poo just to leave it on the ground.Thats’ crazy, I joke all the time how people have to grab that hot loaf with a sobeys bag, as if its a quality barrier between your hand and poo, those bags aren’t waterproof-airtight or engineered anything close to a quality item. I mean, not to discourage people or anything, but I can’t remember stepping in a shitload more poop 15 years ago when no one picked up after their dogs, but I sure hate seeing garbage cans around my house ( Lake Banook) overflowing with poop bags, ugh, Shitflys buzzing everywhere, ugh.stay away from me shitfly, i know where you’ve been!!!
