I am just kind og venting/arguing. In my city there are SO many dogs and cats the the sidewalks are disgusting poo everywere. Yet all the owners even when they are walking their dog they don't bother picking it up. If you own a pet it is your job to take care of it. If you can't take it to the pound. I feel like I am living in a zoo.

Eww.... In Vancouver, you have to pay a fine if you don't clean up after your dog, which is usually a couple hundred dollars. If that is already happening in your city, maybe you can organize a little clean-up group every once in a while to clean up the poop. It'll really help. Good luck!

You could write a letter to your local newspaper paper about the issue informing the community? It might help a little.

I agree, I dont know why pet owners like that have to be so irresponsable. I sort of have the same beef with smokers, you smoke, great, but why do you have to fling your butts everywhere and give the impression that all smokers are lazy dirty slobs? There was a woman across the street from me who let her dog poo wherever he wanted and my mom was the unfortunate who stepped in it. On my own lawn no less! So in a VERY loud voice she exclaimed if she found the owner of that poo she'd smash their face in it. Well, that dog hasn't pooed without its owner behind him picking it up. So see, sometimes yelling does work  |

Was it in Paris, or was it some other city...Anyway, they actually have a special pooper-scooper unit that picks up all the crap off the streets after all the dogs. ;D

I live half a block from a hiking/horse trail so that would be a godsend to me.

This reminds me of the dng poet. Maybe someone who knows the story better than I do can tell it. If not, I'll come back and post it later.
