Not only do the council provide poo bins every 100 yards or so they actually provide poo bags so there is absolutely no excuse!!!

I have now started picking up any dog poo which I see and disposing of it properly. Why the hell should I? It makes me so angry. If I do ever catch anyone leaving a poo I walk up to them and offer them a poo bag in a loud voice so people hear nearby. I've not yet had anyone refuse, they have just gone red and picked it up. Call me rude but I do have a good reason, Poppy loves to roll in poo,mostly fox/horse/human but the occasional dog poo gets rolled in so I have to take her home and bath her which puts me at huge risk as I do not have a proper immune system so I could catch all sorts including toxoplasmosis which can be fatal.

Also, what if a child touches it~? in any case it's just bad manners!!

I really hate it!!! I pick up all of the girls poo, the only times I haven't is when the disappear off into hip high grass where I can't find it!

My friends brother is a dog warden who told me that if you see a person leaving their dogs poo and you follow them back to their car/house they will be prosecuted!

Am I alone in this? does it bother anyone as much as it does me? grrrrnonod:nonod:nonod::m ad:
