The ignorance of dog s**t In plastic bags...
Discussion
I spend a lot of time on my bike and I’ve noticed how many complete morons will use a plastic bag for dog poo and leave it on the side of the road/gutter/in a park!!
What are they on!?!? Can they not see the complete stupidity of their actions. Not only leaving the poo but also a plastic bag as well...
If you’re one of them, you are an idiot.
Scoop it up an put it in the bin!!!!!!
ETA..please excuse the typo in the title.

It's hard to believe how stupid some people are.
They pick it up, put it into a plastic bag and then chuck it which defies belief.
Better leaving it than actually putting it into something that will only make matters worse.
Really annoys me as it gives us dog owners a very bad name.
You can imagine these plebs saying something like "it gives someone a job"

Happens in a lovely park next to where I live. The OH and I walk round there regularly. Little black plastic bags everywhere. So now we've gone from having dog turds lying around, which was unpleasant but at least biodegradable, to having plastic bags of dog turd lying around, which is not biodegradable. Selfish, lazy pricks.

To be fair, from a pedestrian point of view, it's much better it being in a bag because you're not going to accidentally step in camouflaged dog crap!Obviously, it's much better binned, but I can see the logic in it.
Very fortunately for me, there are bins along all the walking routes near where we live. I bag and rarely have to walk more 100 yards carrying it before I can dispose of it properly. I vaguely remember a campaign a while back to get a stick and flick or something like that. Basically as long as the poo gets into undergrowth no need to bag it...found a link

I use stick and flick, except busy places and parks where kids play, then bag and bin.
I don't see dumping bags as ignorant, it's criminal. A deliberate act of littering, A while ago on a ruralish but popular walk I gathered up a carrier bag full, about 20 odd. If I'd known the perpetrator(s) I'd have returned them through the letterbox. It's worse after weekends and during school holidays.
To anyone who thinks its okay, even for the "I'll collect it on way back" brigade (you know you won't you'll forget or change your route or something and anyway you end up encouraging others) Just don't do it. How would you feel if passing dog walkers deposited faeces in your front garden?
Littering with faeces should be an imprison able offence.

One of our walks is through some woods with stick and flick signs up. I just can't do it though, so I end up on an hour long walk carrying a poo bag or two. I couldn't leave them to collect later either. https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/2017/03/14/dog-ow...

ts in the woods, it's the natural order of things!PositronicRay said:
Now that's just daft, your poo bag ends up in landfill. Everything else sts in the woods, it's the natural order of things!
I know, I know ... Force of habit really. Our dog knows what to do though, as daycare use the same woods for their walks, and he even poo`s right by the bushes ts in the woods, it's the natural order of things!
I pick up litter as I go too, so I end up with a right load of rubbish by the time I get back to the car Zoon said:

As a dog owner myself aswell, I bag the poo, take it with me and then bin it, however it can be a bit grim when of a morning you puf your coat on to take the dog for a walk, hand in pocket to check there are poo bags and you discover one from last week that is already filled! ttish behavior.
