Why people don't pick up after their dogs?

anaya

Its like a poop hell, I live in Dublin 15 but its everywhere. Can't step even think of stepping on the grass and even on pathways feel like picking it up and putting it on the front door of the dog owners or throw it inside their homes....

Not at all

Dna database for all dogs with details of their owner's address.

Locate, fine and faecally decorate their front door

I think a lot of it has to do with the whole "nobody else does it so I'm not gonna bother" mentality.

I'll admit that I don't tidy up after my dogs (I really should start) and the main reason is that they stop to pee on or sniff another dogs poop every 10 feet. Another poop in that mine field isn't really gonna make a difference.

Because they don't particularly feel like handling faeces, in spite of the fact that they are responsible for it being there. Bit like the average bank CEO. You owe the Oracle a general audit and a powerful laxative.

Latest trend around my neighbourhood is to pick it up and hang it in poo bags off the nearest tree/post/gate. Would rather they just left the sh!te there on the ground TBH

filthy habit not cleaning up after your dog. and it gets the responsible owners who do a bad name.

frank reynolds

they should all be chemically castrated, or put on the list for forced sterilisation. isnt that how it goes???

Seriously, doesn't take much. Poo bags cost next to nothing. Makes me so angry when I step in someones dogs sh1t.

Sorry, spell mistake

Always clean up after mine and he craps mountains, although accidents have happened. What really pisses me off is people who pick it up and then just leave the stupid little sh*t bag there. Whats the focking point like?!

Did you walk on it or rub it on yourself?!

The Backwards Man

Ban everyone that doesn't have at least ten acres of their own land from owning dogs.

Seems like you have experience rubbing it on yourself?

Maybe better enforcement of fines would help:

Dog Owners Responsibilities - Contact 8906264

Dog fouling in public places is the biggest public nuisance created by irresponsible dog owners.It is noxious, dangerous and a source of diseases to humans including Toxocariasis (blindness in children) and Campylobacter (acute gastroenteritis). The law is quite specific: do not let your dog foul in a public place and if it does foul in a public place you must collect the waste and put it in a litter bin. It is as easy as taking a plastic bag with you every time you walk your dog in a public place.
If you don't clean up your dog's waste you could be fined €150 by a litter warden or receive a fine up to €3,000 in the District Court.

Picking up sh1t after a dog is why I don't have one.

Great idea though isn't it? Dunno if you would get the volunteers here.

Only started picking up after my dog recently because we've moved to an area with a lot of kids in neighbouring houses. I don't mind if I'm out in a field a step in a bit of shít but if it's a footpath, park or residential area you need to bag those bad boys.
