Poo bag dumpers
Discussion
I'm getting right fed up with these sods.
I found 4 poo bags by a style leading to a field I use, been there a couple of days, so collected them. 2 more further on in the walk, so wound up carrying 6 around with me until I found a bin. Not an unusual day.
I'd rather the s
t was left to decompose than gathering it up in a bag then dumping it. Gives dog walkers a bad name.
Other than this I see very little litter.
I don't quite know what to do, if it's left it seems to encourage more bag dumping.

It is quite annoying as like you say they'd be better off not bagging it at all and letting the rain deal with it 
If its persistent I'd leave a note I suppose, tell them either get your bags taken away (preferable) of if you want to be an arse at least take the least worst option and don't bag them at all.

There are a couple of dog walkers near me who never pick up after their dog. One of them is a Jack Russel and lets face it they don't poo much. Its not really a hardship to pick up their deposits. I pick up everything or greyhound does and he sts a lot.
I have been tempted to pick up the JR's deposits and leave them on the persons doorstep.

I pulled about a dozen bags out of a hedge a while ago & left them In a pile in the middle of the track, that seemed to work for a while.
Somebody else stuck labels on the bags asking WHY? Which I thought was a novel, if ultimately pointless, idea.
I suspect most people who bag only do it if they're being watched then want shot of it ASAP.

We have a dog exercise area where I live ( enclosed area specifically for dogs with 2 poo bins either side of the park) and I often do a 'poo swoop' and pick up after the other dogs.
I think in the summer holidays it's the children that do the poo bag dumping/ not picking up.
I find the parks okay, it's the footpaths across the fields where the problems lie.I think in the summer holidays it's the children that do the poo bag dumping/ not picking up.
There's a little cut through path from the river to a residential area near me which is bad for this.
At this time of year the path is very narrow due to the fast growing nettles, but still the path is chocca with dumped full bags.
Worst of all, the poo bin is 10m (Yes ten) away once you get to the houses.
Grrr

Who are the people that do this? And why?
Near me, people put the mess into a bag and then tie the bag on the branch of a tree, so that there are bags of mess either side of a path through the woods!
Why does no one ever come on to a forum and say 'yes, I do this and I think it's a good idea', so that we can discuss it with them.

Eye level poo. I'm only an ordinary bloke but I would quite happily cull these people.Near me, people put the mess into a bag and then tie the bag on the branch of a tree, so that there are bags of mess either side of a path through the woods!

I sometimes do this meaning to pick up on the way back but then take a different route.
However, once a week I take a tesco carrier out on a short walk and pick up/off anyleft round and I see others doing this. There are a few good people but many more that don't. I also pick up litter on these runs. I'm turning into my dad. It's just public spirited. I like to keep the local walks tidy.

"Hellfruit" is what we call the bags of st tied to trees. No excuse, you've done the grim bit.....I have two dogs, so a lot of poo, but see no excuse for not binning it. I believe the forestry commission have a " flick it" policy where if you are in the wilds you flick it under a bush, out of eyesight / footfall so it decomposes, rather than sweating!

Dumped poo bags just encourage others, please take it with you. Well done for the litter pick though.
ts for England. I pick up far more than he does. Biggest haul was horrible. Luckily I had 2 carriers. Usually do when running. I must look like a nutter carrying a bag a' ste!The Mad Monk said:

Yes, why do people do this? You've gone to all the trouble of bagging it why spend time hanging it in a tree when you can take it home and bin it?Near me, people put the mess into a bag and then tie the bag on the branch of a tree, so that there are bags of mess either side of a path through the woods!

The latest for me was somebody dropping the bagged contents in a small hole left by a broken fence post. Why???
