Bit unusual for me to post a serious thread but I am furious :rant:

My kids took our Boxer Dog for her morning walk on the field near our estate where everyone takes their dogs and she came back with a cut pad.

Some stupid thoughtless idiot yet again had smashed his or her beer bottle on the way home from staggering out of the nearby pub.

I wish people would leave their bottles in the pub - I realise it would be difficult to expect the publicans to stop customers leaving their premises with bottles but this stupid act will end up costing my family about £100 in vets bills not to mention the pain caused to our dog.

She is on a course of antibiotics, she has had to have an injection and has to have her paw stiched on Monday. She is 12 which is extremely old for a Boxer so obviously I am worried if she has to be put under for the op.

Please think before you litter.

I hate to see litter louts in action :rant: Up on Shiregreen its always the little noncey gimp chavs who appear to have waste bin dyslexia, and it appears both sexes suffer from it. Not long ago I saw a little 14 year old Burberry big turnup thong flasher throw half a kilo of paper and sweet wrappers all over the shop front then walk over to a waste bin and gob in it. The scumbags should be flogged in public :mad:

Oh maybe we could put them in stocks and empty a bin of rotting rubbish over them then make them pick it all back up :hihi:

I often follow cars and see the windows wound down then litter launched out - that annoys me too.

im on shiregreen to and i can say its a right mess!:rant:

all the kids cut through my backgarden to get in2 wooley woods (which i have tried to stop them doing on many occasions) and on their way they drop all their sweet wrappers, crisp packets and pop cans! :rant:

one time it looked liked they had been sat having a picnic on our garden! all the rubish was in a perfect circle! :rant:

Unfortunately it's not just chavs who throw litter.

I was sat on the tram the other day at the cathedral and saw a 'well to do' family walking past eating a macdonalds.


The dad walked past a bin to leave the cup on the wall.
The eldest sprog dropped his burger wrapper on the floor as he walked and his Mum proceeded to elegantly step over it.

Also, I followed an audi home from work and the driver threw an empty coffee cup out of his window at the traffic lights.


I hope your doggie is ok dawny1. A number of years ago, ours stood on a broken bottle bottom and severed an artery. By the time we got her to the vet she had lost a third of her blood. Luckily, the vets did a blood transfusion and operated on the severed artery and ligaments.

After 2 weeks in intensive care, she came home and apart from a paralysed toe,(because of the tendon injury) she recovered and lived happily for another few years into her dotage.

If I ever see anyone dropping litter, I tap them on the shoulder, all inncocently, and say. "oh, I think you have just dropped that".. Most people are so embarrassed they pick it up straight away......

All this ranting from a bird blinder! :D :heyhey: :hihi:


Sorry had to get that one in!

I agree; exactly the same thing happened to my first dog, when I was a penniless teenager.
Once with Broken glass hidden under snow.

£75 & a general anaesthetic! My Dad leant me the money & I had to pay him back.

And again broken glass in long grass.:loopy: :rant:

The second time I took him on the bus to the PDSA in Sheffield who sorted him for free.
Another general anaesthetic.

Spooky you posting a thread on litter, that, though.
As I was walking to work today I noticed (and not for the first time) that the bulk of street litter is smoking related.
I was gonna post a smoking related litter thread myself just to bug Fareast ( :thumbsup: :D :hihi: ).
Millions of tab ends, fag packets, disposable lighters...

And why do smokers lob their lit fagends out of car windows to bounce God-knows-where when every car is issued with ashtrays?:rant:

The bird is not blind its vision is just a bit blurred!!! :heyhey:

In fact I have probably improved its eyesight with my own laser eye surgery!

If a general anaesthetic costs that much - this liitle bit of glass is going to cost more like £200 then. :rant::
