    Can we mention the people who either leave the dog shit on the pavement or pick it up, put it in a bag and hang it from a tree?

    The streets here are full of shit, I get like 10% is probably human but it’s not hard to pick up after your dog.

    Most parks even have a dog shit arena so there’s not really any excuse

        re the first part:

        People often hang poop bags from trees along walking trails.

        my assumption is that it’s because they don’t want to carry it the rest of the walk, and will pick it up on the way back. that’s my assumption because I do this myself on private trails, and I do something similar on public trails very occasionally (I just hide it better, and I don’t forget)

        what I don’t understand is how people both put it in a tree where it is visible and forget to pick it up on their way back

        There’s an annoying trend where people hang the bags of dog shit from branches of trees, not sure why. Probably so they’re not carrying a bag of dog shit until the next bin?

        Dog shit arenas are sandy areas in parks that are fenced off so dogs can be exercised off the lead, but humans being humans just let the dogs shit in there and just leave it

      Dog shit is one that I’m on the fence about. I guess on pavement, it’s pretty useless, but on dirt, that shit nourishes and keeps the cycle going. So I have mixed feelings about sealing it away in plastic and sending it to a landfill with enough other poison that the nutrients probably stay out of the cycle for a while.

      The park in my area has spots with free dog shit bags. People are usually good at picking up after their pet

      The only shit I’ve seen is from the hundreds of geese that come to the park
