So, it's not a matter of principle then, just scale?
What are you talking about? Do you imagine that when I take an outdoor dump I do so on a path (and don't "flick"), or that I do it in a bag?
Ah, resorting to personal abuse now.....
Not at all, it was purely an observation. If you were insulted by it it may be because it hits a nerve.
So a the crux of your argument is that flicking with a stick is okay but biodegradable bags aren't?
Yes, because biodegradable bags are not biodegradable in a sensible length of time and make the place look a mess and stink because the poo doesnt get to degrade and wash away.
Have you ever tried flicking dog poo around with a stick? I'd hardly describe it as a good way to clean up.... it mostly seems to result in spreading the poo around in the undergrowth adjacent to the path, hardly ideal!
Yes, other peoples dog poos. I never seem to have a problem.
Out of interest what does everyone do when they get caught short on ride in the woods? Do you coil one of into a bag and take it home with you?
I've never been caught short on a ride, I'm an adult and capable of holding my bodily actions until I get home without much trouble (excepting food-poisoning-induced squits). If I were in a position where I was somehow unable to control myself I'd dash far off the trail, not squit it on the path.
<sigh> I'can't be bothered with this any more, feel free feel a glow of smug self satisfaction because you've won the argument... I'm off, see ya.
It's been getting worse round here this year, near one of the carparks there is a small collection of bags hanging on the fence.
I first thought it was as previously mentioned for collection on returning to the car park, but it is such a noticable thing.
I guess some people just think well why should i take it home when nobody else does..
The Rangers believe it's a statement to get dog poo bins installed at the trail head, which in the lower CP they have yet still people CBA, nappies and wet wipes are also a relatively common sight on the trails during the summer months.
The truth of the matter to why this happens is summed up easily.
"some people are idiots"
The funny thing about this topic, is that there is a load of cr@p spoken on here.
I am a dog owner, when my dog cr@ps, I clean it up, and dispose of it. Not a problem to me.
The talk of kicking dogs and punching owners. I would take offence to anybody that tried to kick my bull mastiff (that's if my dog didn't take offence first 😈 ) , and my other sport is Muay Thai boxing. It would be short contest 😀
If there is a problem with all these bags, then complain to the council or the rangers. Soon enough they'll get the message.
Just don't keep complaining about it on here FFS. Make your point and move on ❗

'xactly. All dog owners pretend to be responsible (like all drivers claim to be "above average"), but at the end of the day, dogs are dangerous and uncontrollable and should be banned.
