Regarding the dog poo debacle

If everyone flicked their dog poo into a hedge on the lane going down to the beach there would be piles of it by the end of the summer. Also cattle graze there during the winter. And if you flick it into bushes where sheep graze it can make them ill. I agree about leaving poo bags lying around though. Senseless.

As a responsible dog owner, I would say the common sense solution is to bag the poo and take it with you either until you find a suitable bin or you get home.

I can never understand the mentality of people who bother to bag up their dog's poo but then leave it hanging on a branch, can't they just carry it till they come across a bin?

Food for plants!?

Dog poo is bio-degradable. If your dog defaecates in the countryside, putting it in a plastic bag and leaving it there is not only inconsiderate to the people who've now got to put it in the bin for you -- it's also stopping it being food for plants! Use a stick, and flick it into a bush so it doesn't smell. The common sense solution.
If you do put it in a bag, put it in the bin! Don't just leave it there.
