Default Like beating a dead horse

While walking w/my wife in the village of Linden, I noticed no less than four little black bags full of dog waste just thrown into the grass near the tree line. That is nasty, unhealthy and disgusting. Take your crap home with you.

I guess we were due for another poop thread. It's been awhile. At least it was bagged. Easier to see and avoid.

There is hope. Maybe they left the bags while taking their walk and will pick them up on their way home. Let's hope.

It's a bad thing that so many of you think it's humorous...I doubt you'd be laughing if it happened to you. Those who leave the poop behind rarely come back for it and are just lazy.

They are not lazy, they are entitled individuals, a much better class than you and I.

Those who think it is humorous are probably the dog owners themselves. And why should it be our responsibility to pick up their mess.

What's humorous is thinking that another thread on this subject will make any difference.

I don't agree. I see this all the time. Dog walkers picking their bags up on the way back home.

Yes, I have seen it picked up on the return visit. What I do see in Marsh Bend in the fields is just plain poop.

they likely don't like to walk their dog while carrying it's poop....tough luck! Know one knows this will happen and if you don't like carrying your dogs poop then have it poop on your own lawn.

While you may see some pick it up on their way back(no real way to know that unless you're one of them)there are to many that do not.

Stop treating everyones lawn as your dogs bathroom and if you use the common areas pick it up and carry it...otherwise get rid of the dog!

To those who think it's funny....I hope you get the pleasure of cleaning some dogs poop off of your property about 10x a month!

Those trash bins are not for fecal waste from pets. There are signs on the receptacles that say not to dispose of pet feces in them.

Your so right, definitely not friendly,
when many dog owners are not
very considerate of others!
