[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Serious question for the bag droppers—how would you feel about someone leaving a balled-up dirty diaper along a trail/road/behind a sign, with the intent of coming back for it?[/quote]

+1. What is wrong with these people?  How do you not understand that leaving bags of poop lying around is a gross thing to do?  Don’t want to carry dog poop bags for 20 minutes? Don’t have a dog. [/quote]

If it is hidden, why does it matter to you?  You do realize that if you walking on a trail you are walking on animal excrement, not simply walking by it. I'm sure you lunatics would also complain if you walk by dog owners in a narrow trail and get a whiff of the dog poop being carried in the bag. [/quote]

It’s not doing anything to anyone. [/quote]

You are both ignorant. Get a little education. Dog poop doesn't just disintegrate harmlessly when left outside.

[b]From the EPA: "Pet waste left on the street or lawn does not just go away or fertilize the grass. Rain washes pet waste down storm drains and into waterways like rivers, bays, and beaches. This can make people sick from salmonella, E. coli, and other infections. Pet waste is very toxic—the Environmental Protection Agency estimates that waste produced by just 100 dogs in two or three days (or one weekend) can contain enough bacteria to temporarily close a bay to swimming and shellfishing. Pet waste also provides a nitrogen source for algae blooms, which deplete the water of oxygen and can make people and animals sick[/b]."

You'll come back with your idiotic, false equivalent argument that "Well, what about squirrel poop and deer poop and the rest of nature?!"

Well, are you willing to click once and read why that argument is utterly uniformed? .Unless your pet Fido is actually a coyote or wolf, his poop is not part of the natural landscape like you want to believe.

Yes, there ARE reasons why wild animals can poop in the woods and your dog should not.
