Can we mention the people who either leave the dog shit on the pavement or pick it up, put it in a bag and hang it from a tree?
The streets here are full of shit, I get like 10% is probably human but it's not hard to pick up after your dog.
Most parks even have a dog shit arena so there's not really any excuse
wat didd i just read
re the first part:
People often hang poop bags from trees along walking trails.
my assumption is that it's because they don't want to carry it the rest of the walk, and will pick it up on the way back. that's my assumption because I do this myself on private trails, and I do something similar on public trails very occasionally (I just hide it better, and I don't forget)
what I don't understand is how people both put it in a tree where it is visible and forget to pick it up on their way back
It could be a message so they put a garbage bin there.
Where I live there's a park where they removed all the bins and it made people put the poop bags where the bins were. Now the city is asking people not to litter but they will also put some bins back.
one of the giant bins (with a huge underground container) in my area has a sign that explicitly says no dog poop on it
like wtf why would you put a massive green-lidded sealed trash container at a park next to the sidewalk for the street and then tell people not to put dog poop in it‽
I'd much rather my taxes go towards more trash cans and pick up service in my area then making intersections twice as big as they need to be and the upkeep related to that. It's absolutely wild that in my 40 km an hour neighborhood an intersection is like eight cars wide with a huge turning radius for the giant trucks that don't go into this neighborhood anyways because they can't make the first corner into the side street
There's an annoying trend where people hang the bags of dog shit from branches of trees, not sure why. Probably so they're not carrying a bag of dog shit until the next bin?
Dog shit arenas are sandy areas in parks that are fenced off so dogs can be exercised off the lead, but humans being humans just let the dogs shit in there and just leave it
dog shit arenas were these whatchacallems, arboretums with lots of dogshit bags hanging from the branches and they also had paintball.
They also do exist
Dog shit is one that I'm on the fence about. I guess on pavement, it's pretty useless, but on dirt, that shit nourishes and keeps the cycle going. So I have mixed feelings about sealing it away in plastic and sending it to a landfill with enough other poison that the nutrients probably stay out of the cycle for a while.
