People Who Don't Pick Up After Their Dogs

[Padders 2,833]

I think dog owners who let their dogs mess, and leave it lying there, should at least carry a can of illuminated paint.

Spray it on the mess, and people would see it and avoid it.

You'd be surprised how many owners let their dogs pee all over the two flower troughs I have outside my gate.

 

Or maybe you won't....

There's no danger inherent in dog pee (unlike poo which can carry parasites).

And dogs naturally mark on prominent objects, like lampposts or flower troughs.

... And urine is a good compost activator, but sprayed directly onto plants (eg, those in RiffRaffs flower troughs) can kill them.

Not really my point, as you full well know.

I'm not really sure what your point was, perhaps you can explain?

[RiffRaff 10]

Well, as you appear to be an expert on every subject under the sun, I'm confident you'll be able to figure it out...

I'm not an expert in interpreting cryptic comments, please explain.

It isn't cryptic at all. He doesn't want dogs peeing on his property.

Probably shouldn't leave them out on the street then I guess.

I can’t see much point in picking dog poo up in a wood that is already full of fox poo and badger poo. So if my dog runs off into the wood to poo, I leave it.

There are about 10millon dogs in the uk, and about 1million foxes. If we all let our dogs poo in the woods, there would be a lot of dog poo in the woods. 

 

Maybe just me, but our dog isn't let off the lead until he's 'gone'...

 

(And even then, he's not free to roam)

Hmmm...

... that sounds like a brilliant idea Mr Padders.

 

We could get all the little oiks who like defacing other people's property with their aerosol cans on the job, and if we could get one of the forum boffins to suggest some sort of bacteriological acceleration agent that could be added to the paint then we could become the UK's first city to have fully biodegradable doggy poop!

 

I can see the banners on the Town Hall now...

 

... Sheffield - City of Sanitary.

Dog poo is of course fully biodegradable unless you've been feeding your dog plastic.
