Once again on a local fb forum the subject of dog poop bags has become an issue. People are expected to scoop up their dogs crap in a little plastic bag and carry it with them until they can find a bin to dispose of it in. This is a totally disgusting idea, but dog owners love carrying that little bag of shit as a badge of responsibility. Im a good person Im picking up my shit. I say " my " because they see dogs as children or a biological extension of themselves. Dont believe me ? Watch what happens when two dogs fight and their owners intervene, or if you shout at someone elses dog.
Worst still some just leave the plastic bag as litter packed with shit just lying on the ground. Well thats a job well done. I presume they assume that no one else will step in it ? meanwhile others hang theirs in bushes like little smelly decorations. Thats the most absurd of all I think. Why, why , why ?
I cant see why people just cant just kick it into a bush, or long grass to biodegrade. Surely that is better ? It seems those days have long gone and are now considered anti- social...lol
Its pointless making any comment online because the battle is already lost to the " scoopers " because no one thinks what happens after they have done the dirty deed ?
Oh, happy Easter !
Where I live, people don't even bother with that lol. There are piles o' poop everywhere, including human. Used to be you'd only find this in places like Los Angeles or Portland, but the homeless epidemic is everywhere now.
ReplyDeleteI think that people who think dogs are extensions of themselves have narcissistic personality. They also treat dogs better than they do people. The dog becomes "them." Often, these dogs become vicious to others because the person who owns the dog is the same way. The hostility is expressed via the dog.
I loved my terriers, but they were sweet, all except one of them. I was going to put that dog to sleep due to its nature, but a family member stopped me. The family member kept the dog and it was always trying to attack everyone. An extension of that person's personality.
Typical British idea the poop bags.
DeleteWe had piles of human waste when lockdown shut all public toilets, especially in tourist areas. Dig a hole was the advice !
That sounds like it could be a major health hazard having all that around. I've heard San Francisco is like that, it's probably a health hazard just breathing the air in a city like that, especially in the summer when it's hot and flies and other vermin are about. Yuck!
