Dog Poop?

[Zcustom]

Can someone please explain to me why it is necessary to pickup your dogs poop?

I grew up when you simply watched out for it, and sometimes stepped/fell into dog poop. It'd be interesting if someone could provide an educational explanation devoid of emotion or personal opinion.

If my dog poops in the woods, or another area that people are likely not to go, I don't worry with it... but if he poops in someones yard or somewhere (like the park, etc.) I pick it up out of simple courtesy to others.

I've seen people let their dog poo in the middle of the path at the park and just leave it. Those people are assholes.

The government says dog doo is bad for the environment. I guess wild animal doo isn't. They said it so it must be true.

Leaving it sitting will burn up the grass.

Why would you allow your dog in someone else's yard to begin with?

I make sure my dog shits in my yard before we go for a walk so that I don't ever have to pick up poo.

I walk my dogs in the middle of the street cuz they only want to go on grass. Also, it files their nails down.

I think you answered your own question.

I just fuging love the idea that we take a completely biodegradable substance that left alone in the sun and rain will be gone in a matter of days or at most weeks and encase in it plastic to bury it in a landfill where it will remain in that state for hundreds if not thousands of years. Even if your one of the "good guys" and you buy the biodegradable poop bags those overwhelmingly end up in regular old plastic garbage bags that do not decomposed when buried.

So next time you think you're doing us a favor by picking up your dogs poo, don't. Do us a real favor and train your dog to poo in your yard.

We pick it up out of our own yard ( well I don't ) so I can sit on the back porch and not smell dog crap! With 2 dogs it piles up pretty quickly.

A reason I read that makes sense when you think about it is....the concentration of dogs in any city is anything but "natural". How many dogs do you think are in Charlotte? All that poop lying around. Therefore the amount of contaminants from poop running off into streams etc is magnified much higher that you'd have if "natural" conditions existed.

I flush my dogs poop down the toilet using biodegradable bags.

depends on location as many have indicated. there's a small park across the street from our condo that has plastic bags for poop. a lot of children play in that park, and i wouldn't want my child playing your dog's poop. same goes for the flowers/bushes around our condo building, which residents seem to think are for their dog. our maintenance crew tends those flower beds/bushes/plantings daily, and i imagine it's pretty damn disgusting to be on your hands and knees in with poop all around you. i agree there's no need up nature's fertilizer from your own yard or some place where people are not likely to encounter it, but i loathe those who just let their dog's crap all over the place with no regard for their neighbors.

I trained my dog to take a sh#t on the toilet the only problem is all my playboys are stuck together now for some reason.....bad dog.

Not everyone that has dogs has a yard, which is why most people that walk their dogs do so. I, for instance, have two dogs and I currently live in a condo - No yard. My complex will fine me 50 bucks per dog poo that I don't pick up and after three fines I get evicted, so there's that as well.
