Dog fouling

(1/7) > >>

Boggert:
Now I know this is a hot topic with my Parish Councils on my beat, Bit today i was annoyed!

The other day I was sat at my PC looking out of the window, I glance up to see a woman with a dog cross the road towards my front garden, but being busy take no more notice...

Today I want to cut the grass to find a big pile of dog mess!

I have seen this woman and her dog before, If I see it happen again I will take a bag out to her so she clears it up then report her for "Anti social behaviour" Bad enough fouling the foot paths but private gardens! :twisted:

Anyone who lets their do foul the paths are inconsiderate gits...

Rant over...

Oooh my all time favourite pet hate !  :x
People who dont clean up after their dogs should be shot - legislation should be put in place that it is an offence to walk a dog without carrying suitable means to clean up after it
A few on the spot fines for not carrying a plastic bag would soon sort them out
I once caught a dog messing in my front garden with the owner looking the other way till it was finished - I grabbed a shovel, loaded it up with his mess and chased him down the road shouting as loud as I could "Excuse me, I think you have forgotten something !" - boy was his face red as I made him put it in the bag I brought for him too !
His only other option was to discuss the matter at the front desk of the police station 3 doors down from my house ! - It is an offence up here to let your dog foul up here (on the spot fine ) - is it not the same down there ?

I was paramotoring out of a field in Hampshire, having left my kit bag with my stuff in it, and as I'm walking back across the field I watch a couple's dog wander over to it, pee on it, and trot off again.  They acted totally oblivious to the actions of their dog.  If I hadn't had a motor on my back I'd have run over and had a go at them.

Boggert:
I could issue a fine, however it only works if the foul a foot path not private land...
However I will request their name and address politly if I catch them if not I would consider pulling my warrent card if they refused... Never normally would i do that when off duty, but the dog fouling issue bugs me. There is a local foot path that runs to our village school and it is just covered in dog poo... I once pushed a push chair up there, it picked up lots of dog poo! don't these people think about others...Rant rant rant

As a dog owner, I do try to do my best to tidy up after my pooch. The worst bit is when you feel in yr pocket, theres a bag ther so off you go, then the dog decides to poop twice on your walk....Now carry a pocketfull of bags.

My only gripe is that when Im in woodland, or somewhere open like derbyshire or similar, I let the dog run free, sometimes she takes a pee, sometimes she poops, but there are some folk who expect that every one should be cleared away. I clear up if its a pavement, I clear up if its a field where kids play etc, but I draw the line in open woodland etc.

 To be honest, I try to avoid footpaths etc and take the dog in the fields or woods, cos even if you clear it away, its never completely clean and I always think if kids fall over where its been, they are still gonna pick up germs etc.
