Hello.
In New Zealand the dogs and People shit were they like, when we go for a walk we have to lookout and see that we Dont step in it.

When I have to go when I am out, I find that some people cant do it in the right place in the men’s room.

Hi all !!
I think nobody have had visited INDIA, you all speaking about how to make the environment clean from dog’s poops, here even the ugly humans are doing the shit.. (even though it is shame to say this, I want to tell you the truth & be honest)

Comparatively better in your nation, not like INDIA. Hence your nation is developing a lot because of this kind of respectful behavior & obedience, am jealous over you all in this case ….

The difference between rubbish (cups paper plastic etc) and dog mess is that the rubbish will not cause you to become blind or for a pregnant mother to risk losing her baby!

Roundworms (Toxocara canis) shed their eggs when your dog defecates.
These can remain present in the ground for up to THREE YEARS and can infect other dogs and humans.
Young children can pick up the infection easily through direct contact with ground that has been contaminated (long after the mess itself has degraded!), or by contact with objects that have passed through contaminated land such as push-chairs.

Therefore the ‘fine’ for putting a person’s health at risk is proportionate to the offence.

I think the council should be more preocupied of garbage. Since the penalties for dogs poop are so big, why wouldn’t be for plastic bags, cups and cigarettes? There is the same problem in my city.

Sean,

In my local area we have parks which have these dog poo bag dispensers! They are free to use by the public and get refilled by our council. Perhaps it’s something you could suggest to your council?

Cheers,
Tom

Funny you mention this.

As a dog owner, when I walk my dog, I always carry plastic bags with me to pick up the poop. Most caring dog owners do this as it’s just good practice and respectful.

What gets me is like you mention how humans leave trash all the time, toss things out car windows, etc and no one seems to get on them but if my dog poops and I immediately pick it up, what’s the issue?

My local park is huge… lots of space for dogs and humans to run and play but guess what? Almost never any people at the park.

If they allowed dogs, even for a small fee, I think it would get used. It makes me mad that my tax dollars go to paying for a park and I can’t enjoy it with mans best friend, my dog.
