I also have a dog and I always bring with me a garden shovel, instead of picking up the pooh I dig and bury the pooh
However, most flats in England have tenants. Therefore it’s safe to assume that most tenants will be flat dwellers.
Staggering logic fail there. The second point might be true, but if it is, it certainly isn’t established as such by the first.
Well, have a look..
There's roughly a third less houses for rent within that same area.
...so pootentially, that could be an extra 61,000 dogs on the streets, if Corbyn has his way. That's not taking into account multiple occupancy. Each tenant within a property could have a dog, so that's far more dogs potentially.
What if one tenant is allergic to cats or dogs? They don't get any say in the matter.
Believe me I love dogs and, some cats. I just think they should be given the right to adopt the owner rather than the other way around. Some people just aren't in a position to own them. It's a good reason why there's so many animal rescue charities that exist.
There'll be poo on the streets (and hanging off trees) if Corbyn get's into poo'er.

I imagine one of the perks of being a farmer, is the unfettered ability to blast away at berghaus-couple's 'fur babies'
FC's "stick and flick" policy has everything to do with managing budgets (collection and disposal of hazardous wastes) and nothing to with ecology
National Trust have given up as they have decided dog owners don't give the proverbial
Natural England have done studies and have given up as well
Our local witch used to bag it and put it through the grid of the road drains, you cannot reason with these people they are ignorant beyond comprehension.
iv noticed quite a few poo bags in the trees on cannock chase, i always assumed it was the nob heads who are prepared to pick it up but not carry it with them
As someone who is a “dog poo fairy” on NT land and has had many a poo bag tear on the undergrowth spilling contents upon me, I’d happily Man a sniper rifle and cull anyone who dumps a poo bag (or any other litter)
*just to point out this is my opinion and not that of the NT
As some of you on here are aware I inspect rented properties for a living, all styles from bedsits and apartments through to multimillion pound mansion houses, and can categorically state there is no hard and fast rule in regards to dog owners and cleaning up there dogs turds.
Been to a half million pound farm house in Kettleshulme, Macclesfield(Nice rural area) recently where the surrounding lawns were peppered in dog turds(talking well over a hundred) and the interior stinking of wet dog, yet been to 3 bedroomed ex council house on a not so nice estate yesterday where the tenant has 5 small dogs and not a turd in sight or doggy smells inside the property.
The property doesnt really matter its just the idiots that reside in them.
On a side note is hanging turds out in trees a British thing? or do our continental brethren also suffer a similar fate.
And to whomever was moaning about a dog taking a dump in front of their eight year old in the pub. I’d argue that the dog has more right to be in a pub than your sprog.
Did the owner bag the turd and hang it behind the bar though? you know where they keep the nice wine glasses.

I remember many years ago discovering to my surprise that it seems quite normal behaviour in Belgium to shit in lay-bys - and I'm not talking about dogs here. I wonder if it is still thus.
From experience the worst offenders are Mr and Mrs matching Berghaus with their chocolate lab. Mrs Binners recently went ballistic at just two such people who casually observed their 4-legged shitting machine curl out a massive steaming log right onto the steps in front of our house, then just turn and walk off. And hanging dog poo bags from the trees behind our house seems just the standard done thing to these strokers
That is knobbish behaviour of the highest order I would really struggle to keep my shit together if I witnessed that on my doorstep. What will it take? A murder of some dog owners before this issue is taken seriously?
I'm thinking that we should have mandatory microchips on dogs (and a DNA registration when that's done). If the dog needs treatment / kennels etc the chip needs scanned. If the dog shits everywhere the shit can be sampled and traced to the owner for a massive fine.

That's a good point. I've been wondering throughout this thread whether any foreigners are reading this thinking wha' the fu@*!? Firstly, bagging up the poo and hanging it is in itself a bit odd. Then all us lot whingeing about it is odd too. Very British.
The thing is, in Japan they actually wipe their dog's arses, in public! Of course they bag it up. I don't remember seeing any poo bins though they have bins for a variety of things all lined up next to one another.
Somebody mentioned chewing gum earlier as a pet hate. Very valid too in my opinion. Auckland airport has banned the sale of chewing gum by any of their retailers based within the airport. Singapore has banned it outright I believe. Both Japan and Singapore are immaculate though.

Depends. How old is the dog?
8yo children also tend to be relatively hygienic.
