What the hell is going on? What possesses some barnacle brained muppet to carefully wrap his dogs morning loaf in a nuke proof plastic bag and then sling it in a tree, where it can biodegrade in about seven million years. I ride around the the north downs area, Lieth hill, Reigate and surrounds and it seems the fashion now is to festoon the trees and shrubs with these obscene parcels like some obscure pagan burial site. Nobody likes to clean dog crap out of their mechs, or teeth for that matter, but COME ON!!!! you have it in a bag, take it home for crissake.
Just once I would like to identify one of these idiots and leave one of my own, on the windscreen of his car for instance.
"leave one of my own"
A turd for a turd leaves the whole world smelling of sh*t.
UV will degrade the bag in under a year.
But I take your point.
In a plastic bag?
Speaking as a owner of 2 retrevers I would like to comment as a dog owner
"ALL DOG OWNERS SHOULD BE PROSICUTED if they do not clean up the dog eggs"
I feel the same as you
But do not leave the bags on the windscreens but smeer it onto the door handles instead
Sure UV will brobably degrade the bag eventually but how long in comparison to just letting the bacteria and mould do their stuff? Longweight- no bag
I'd rather it was in a bag on a tree than on my tyre/shin/face, tbh.
I always regret not saying something to the guy whose dog laid one on the local football pitch and he just kicked some grass cuttings over it. I really hope no one slid into that one. Dorty bast'd.
He'd've probably punched me though. There are some lovely people up here... 🙁
There's one on my local ride stuck in the nook of a tree thats been there for 3 years, so who ever thinks they'll biodegrade in a year is making a mistake.
Avalanche - Let me know the reg so that when I'm next up there I can join in with the fun 🙂 Plenty of flapjack from the NT shop in the tower before hand!
I can't see the problem myself. I would have thought hanging from a tree wouldn't cause anyone any problems and was really quite considerate. Have you any idea how attempts it requires on average to get them to stay up there ? But fair enough, if you feel that strongly about it, I'll try to take them home with me in future.
I know someone who recognised the owner's car and carefully fed the dog turd into the plenum chamber under the windscreen where the air intake for the aircon lives.
What kind of weirdo bags animal poo in the countryside, anyway?
LOL at ernie
Poo, in a bag (partly degraded), in a tree, head height, could lead to a face full of trouble.
Jims poop is allways baged n binned, but people round here arnt able to carry the poop 5 mins to the bin, so they drop beside the path. then write to the local paper to complain theres not enough bins.!!!! AAAArrrrGGGGhhhhHHH!!!!! 4kin 4quits
