Dog Mess....disgusting.!!!!

[ClachanHope]

I was disgusted this afternoon when my OH, myself and my dog went down by Wick river today to eat our chips and give the dog a run.
Right there beside us was a big huge dog poop.!!!! Fantastic!!!! Yet another dog owner NOT lifting their dog mess.
I am disgusted by this and I'm a dog owner, how do the non owners feel. It must be 10 times worse for them.
There is no excuse for this.
When are these people going to clean up after their dogs.???

Absolutely agree, I clean up after my own dogs yet I end up washing other peoples dogs mess off buggy wheels and carpets. Would they let their dogs mess on their carpets? No I think not so I don't want to clean it off of mine.

there's no excuse for it, dog owners can pick up free poo bags from the service points in the council offices if they can't afford to buy a pack!

Hunted the beach tonight for one that Brodie did, found it eventually but not an easy task in the dark

[unicorn]

I am thinking of buying a good torch I can't find the black dogs and the mess can take ages to find I sympathise

[John Baikie]

I'm in favour of the dog owner having their nose rubbed in it, or it pushed through their letterbox, since they forgot to bring it back with them

[unicorn]

I think that would work quite well

[changilass]

As Unicorn has seconded that and I am thirding it, that means its passed and is now law

[unicorn]

Yay us, when do we start

[EDDIE]

LOL if only!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think a lot of the mess is just missed by the owners rather than any real intention to leave it, especially if it is dark at night or if they have two dogs and their back is turned picking some up already. <Ducks down to avoid being pelted by the anti-poo brown shirts>

Nah otherwise I'll have to enable the anti plop-up security feature on Kaspersky, it's a recurring problem as it is.

There is no excuse for "missing" your dogs poop. If al these responsible owners can watch to see where and when their dog poops then so can everyone else. I had two dogs until recently and always knew where both of them pooped. A good dog owner knows their dogs habits and traits, and if they can't be bothered learningthem, they shouldn't have a dog.
As for cats, I totally agree as well, cos there's nothing worse than looking after your garden and coming across a buried cat poop.....eeuuuwwww!!!! Gross

I found I was having trouble finding the mess in the dark so I now take a torch with me, saves a lot of time searching.

I was in Wick yesterday and there was a massive offending object at DE's corner. There were several more patches along Bridge Street heading towards the Cliff.

People just don't care. There are plenty of dog-owners that clear up and maybe a few that 'miss' the dog doing the business, but I firmly believe that for each of these two categories, there is at least one in the 'don't care' brigade.

I watched a man let his dog foul on the Cliff once and when I asked him what he was going to do about it, he replied that it wasn't his problem. I don't know who he was or I would have reported him. However, he was so rough I maybe wouldn't have for fear of retaliation. He was as menacing looking as his pit bull.
