Dog food tax or dog license would be a good thing but not a vote winner.
The inability to bag it and carry out should be a disqualification from owning a dog.
If I ever catch that lazy shit who lets his dog shit on the path near our house (it’s just the one dog) I’ll bag the shit then feed it to him so he has to shit his dogs own shit.

Did a thread on this before. I asked them, conclusion is that a huge number of dog owners are entitled selfish shitheads.
..and Corbyn wants tenants to have the right to own pets. This, although not the cause of the problem of poo hanging off trees, won't help matters. Some people just simply shouldn't own certain animals. Dogs need space and having them cooped up in a flat is not good for them. If more people were allowed to own dogs there will be more shit everywhere.
Yep dog food tax is the way, but I also think there should be a chewing gum tax to pay for the council who haveto employ teams of specialist cleaners.
The perpetrators should be hung off a tree with poo bags hung around their necks. Disgusting scrotes.
Ah, the turdbag in a tree. A depressing symbol of modern UK life. Like the CCTV camera, or the plethora of signs and warnings that adorn every vertical public surface.
At least there is something comic about tha hanging turdbag. Not sinister or spiteful like the others. I once saw one hanging off the handle to somebody’s front door. Still makes me chuckle to this day. I think the comedy arises from a mixture of the sheer audacity of the act itself, the striking incongruous sight of a plastic bag full of shit hanging from a tree, often in a lovely area of natural beauty. And how angry it makes people.
Bio degradable poo bags hanging from trees, that's a smelly accident waiting to happen. A ticking time bomb I tell you.
The punishment for this crime should be to be pegged out under the tree of your filthy crime on a hot day and left there until a bag bursts and floods your mouth nose and eyes with it's stinking, maggotty, rancid liquor

And the prize for most brazen politicizing of an apolitical issue goes to... Bigblackheinoustoe! Well done that man.
Also, you know that people rent houses as well as flats, don't you?
Absolutely....house dwellers also become turd in a bag lobbers too. So that's even more cack in a bag hanging off a tree...potentially.
However, most flats in England have tenants. Therefore it's safe to assume that most tenants will be flat dwellers.
I'm just saying allowing tenants to have dogs, whatever type of dwelling, will increase the amount of cack everywhere. Additionally, I don't think it's particularly healthy to keep dogs in flats. Though if they were allowed to run free outside and then be allowed to crap in their owner's flats I wouldn't mind.
From or on trees, surely? The real victim here is the English language.
The local woods here have a stick and flick policy.
Errr, do you have a copy of that policy?
Bigblackheinoustoe - where is it ‘healthy’ to keep a dog then? On a ranch only? Inevitably, you have in your mind a tiny council flat. A ****less, workshy tenant - who can’t control the three massive Huskies that have eaten all the skirting boards.
There are multiple shades of flat, tenant and dog.
B) It’s still hung on a tree, which is the problem. Most places* are happy if you leave dog poo where it is as long as it’s not on the path.
*there’s reasons why not, like play areas, army training areas, sensitive ecosystems like sand dunes, but if you’re dogs just doing what bears do naturally, it’s fine.
It's really not fine anywhere. You may have noticed people don't always stick to paths - especially not children. And that can't possibly known for any particular place. And domestic dogs aren't like bears - domestic dogs are only there because people are there.
Anyone who lets their dog foul public areas should have the dog take from them and the dog destroyed - at the owners expense.
Or, ban all dogs from public areas expect designated exercise areas. That way it's only dog owners who will have to deal with the issue.
There are even academic studies
Essentially some people won't change
There is another study which I can't find the link to which shows most public parks are heavily infected with toxocariasis including the fenced of play areas. We essentially let our kids play in a biohazard
Jambourgie - Flats are mostly in built up areas, where there's a higher concentration of people. Let everyone have a dog. Where are those dogs going to crap?
Oh and in England most flat dwellers are tenants.

I spend my working life getting children and teachers outdoors. Our biggest issue at the moment is off the lead dogs and piles of ''hidden" shit in every corner of parks, woods, dunes and even school grounds. Apparently it's ok to let your hound curl one out as long as it's off the pitch. Stop being selfish and self justifying. Please pick it up and bin it.
Not commenting on the rights or wrongs, but the FC's 'stick and flick' policy is well documented.

No they really aren't but people have better things to do with their time than chase shithead dog owners around.
'Stick and flick' is the lesser of two evils it's far from ideal (in fact dog owners can't even manage that) - as a dog owner its your responsibility to pick it up and bin it.
And matt is correct never ending piles of dog shit 10cm to the side of tracks and footpaths is a huge reason why people won't take kids out to the countryside.

Lost cause, the sense of entitlement in dog owners round here is something to behold. Our kids get dog shit on them 9 walks out of 10. I’d happily ban the things. Ironic really as I love dogs and grew up with them but people are just too selfish for it to work.
other selfish behaviour such as littering and smashing up the provided public facilities is depressing and disheartening but you used to be able to go out into the country to avoid it. Selfish pig thick dog owners have now made every walk their own personal shit facilities, right out into the far reaches of the South Downs.

Well documented, but I'm now feeling quite lucky not to have run through some, given that your link is to an area I've spent lots of time running off paths.
It really is very annoying isn’t it. I carry a large black bag with me when out riding. If I see somebody not picking up or hanging it from trees, I simply place the bag over their head and suffocate them. Of course I roll the corpse in to the bushes, can’t have it decomposing on the footpath.
This is also a brilliant way to amass your own dog collection.
This is in the same bracket as flytipping - really antisocial behaviour. I love dogs but owners need to be responsible.
That stick and flick nonsense a joke, pick it up ya lazy bastards.
I’m glad your are not living with a botanist doing regular hedge surveys.
So am I, can't think of a more boring person to live with. As for stick and flick, it really does depend where you live. If like me you live in a forest that is covered with horse shit, cow shit, fox shit, rabbit shit etc,. then a dog shit flicked under a hedge, into a bush and degrading naturally is better than using a plastic bag and putting it in a bin.
Just because other animals shit, it doesn't make leaving more shit about right in any way.
Oh Joy! My love of dog owners has just been increased yet more! If that were possible. We live on small steep rural roads and we tend to get more weather than most. The council fill grit bins on our roads so we can clear our pavements, steps and the road outside
We've had a lot of snow overnight so I go out to get some grit to clear the steps and pavement. Guess what the grit bin is full of? *ing bags of dog shit! Just chucked in there! Loads of them! *ing cheers you filthy bunch of selfish inconsiderate *s!!! *ing unbelievable!!!
Yeah, but PUPPIES!
binners: Perhaps they are dyslexic and misreading "grit bin"?
Shame you don't know where they live. You could have helpfully "gritted" their garden path for them.
Careful there Binners.
Wouldn't want you to burst a bloodvessel. 😉
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.

True. You could live with the kind of cretin who thinks it ok to fling dog crap around the countryside.
Just pick up your dog waste. Stop justifying stupid selfish behavior.
For the hard of thinking:
Domestic dogs to not equal wild animanls
Domestic dogs are less important than the welfare of humans (in particular, domestic dogs are not greater than or equal to children - despite what some halfwits think)
Stepping in dog shit is far less annoying than been subjected to other people's children. All this hatred of dog owners, but imo its parents that are far more self entitled....
And that is before we even consider the impact on the environment of large families with multiple kids.
That said..i am a dog owner and would never consider hanging dog shit on anything.
Just because other animals shit, it doesn’t make leaving more shit about right in any way
Yes it does. It naturally bio degrades and is a better option than using a plastic bag and putting into waste
People are quick to comment without having a clue about the area I live in (Nobody is going to walk through a hedge and step on the poo, no children ever play in the areas etc,.)
Ths is why it is advised to flick into hedge as it is the best solution.
If I lived in a town and walked in parks etc,. I would not be leaving poo there.
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

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.
