My experience, from owning a cat and from observing stray cats around the place, is that they are quite punctilious regarding crapping in their litter box, or (outside) digging a hole and then covering the turds. Is this what you mean by "toilet trained"?
And yet cat shit can be seen in abundance in many a garden. That kids might play in...
Quite right Josh - cats are probably worse as their shitting is less controled
The reason I'm picking at this is because you appear to be asserting that all cat owners who don't have toilet-trained cats simply haven't tried hard enough, which I can assure you is not the case. Apologies if that's not what you were implying.
Errmmm - what I posted was quite clear 🙂
Seems like on a political level, there’s been precious little brainstorming on the issue of dog defecation.
even despite the simmering hostility on the issue.
it’s not an issue that is going to disappear. All that successive govts have tried to do is fudge the issue.
The actual bodies representing the dog trade (food, toys, veterinary associations) really ought to show some collective leadership on the issue.
The streets have improved tremendously in the last ten years (a generational thing?), but there’s more potential still.
this is the kind of issue that would galvanise support for whoever is standing against a UKIP candidate.
but, in the meantime, I’ll try to contact the local political representatives.

Except it is very much a UKIP/Reform kind of policy. Much like potholes. Not a big issue in the scheme of things buts get a few people very angry
Ladies and gents.. Let's take a moment to consider the hippopotamus.

Thats a three bagger i reckon.
Three carrier bags, aye.
Amateur. Everyone knows carrier bags have holes in em.
issues like dog poop would make a more interesting electoral law lay form than the usual banal rhetoric.
i think the problem is there’s a lack of clear direction. Dog owners really don’t know if it’s ok to let their pooches poop on a common area if they pick it up afterwards.
they let their dogs poop there if the park is empty. But what if it’s rammed?
There’s no clear guidance regarding where to go during such contingencies.
theres a lot of inherent laziness with many dog owners too.
tbc.

Not the Bags for Life or the heavy duty 'Reliabags', they're holeless, apart from the big 'un at the top. But they're not really intended as Bags for Shite it's true

Utter tosh...
I know pretty damn well if. My dogs likely to need a poop when out and about, as I feed him and know him.. but sometimes you can get caught out so to carry a bag and dispose of it in a bin or take it home and put it in the bin.
It's no hardship.
You can't legislate for people who ignore the rules though, because, well, they will ignore the rules, and more than that, without robust enforcement they will continue to ignore the rules of common decency.
a DNA testing gadget that they poke into every dog egg they find
Let's call a spade a spade and a turd a turd.
I though the use of "poop" was a pretty clear sign some trolling was going on.
