If I can find it, I pick it up. Dog poo damages the ecosystem.

+1 I wouldn’t pick up farther off the trail though.

This is so disgusting! A plastic bag full of poo is worse than a naked pile of poo, which, where I live, will be eaten by slugs in a day.

But I am someone who hops off their horse and kicks her poo into the bushes.

Wait, yours or the horse's?

leave it. if no one is stepping in it, you're fine.

If you can reach the poop, you need to pick it up, always and everywhere.

My dog goes a few feet off the trail when he poops, so I just cover it in leaves. Those compostable bags do not compost very quickly and it still takes energy and resources to make them. When I forget to pick up a pile in our yard to breaks down quickly and our grass loves it. I would imagine it would break down even faster in the woods.

Well this just makes no sense. The inability to conceptualize or appreciate magnitude and degree is one reason why so many people simply tune out environmentalists.

Others are complaining that it’s too much nitrogen. Fertilizer works because it has nitrogen.

Yes you have to. Dog poop is horrific for the ecosystem.

You don’t have to pick it up, but you have to dig a hole and bury it

I flick it off the trail with a stick. Just like in my own 2-acre yard, I fling it deep into the woods with a shovel.

He’s putting a lot less nitrogen into the nature than the deer are.

You don't sound very smart.

Deer poop is fine but dog poop is not?

Dog poop has much higher levels of nitrogen which is bad for water runoff.
