Cats rarely defecate in the open spaces where children are likely to be. Plus, the issue is about minimising the chances of exposure. If you own any pet that shits in front of you in a public place, know that if you don't pick it up, some kid might. The laws exist for a good reason.

That's not true. Cat shits are like mines all over the damn place. Atleast dog shit you can spot. Cat shit is hidden.

 

[Ray Wonder]

I don't even own a dog

 

[Snaku]

No. And it's actually against the law in most places for a reason. You'll get fined. Most dog owners pick up the shit.

Most dog owners only pick up their dog's shit because it's against the law in most places.

 

[Aske]

There're obviously spots where I would pick shit up.

In that case it's all good - way to do your part.

 

[Plum]

I never picked it up. It's a yard. People don't go outside now a days anyway. Typically got him to hold it til we got to the stop sign where it's public property

This has to be bait. No-one can be this terrible.

 

[Shabadoo69]

Pick up your dog's shit. What's wrong with you?

 

[rjinaz]

Most dog owners only pick up their dog's shit because it's against the law in most places.

That's probably true and the end result is the same.

 

[Calamari41]

I don't even own a dog

Unless you're walking him through the woods, you should be picking it up. I never did when I walked my dog either though.

So? You did, and didn't pick up after it. The discussion still applies.

 

[Ray Wonder]

So? You did, and didn't pick up after it. The discussion still applies.

Yeah I was like 12 and walked her like 10 times total.

 

[Twilight Princess]

Your wife deserves better, have her call one of the gaffers in the thread.

 

[Calamari41]

Yeah I was like 12 and walked her like 10 times total.

So you regret not picking it up? You would do so now? What are you even trying to say in this thread?

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Hahaha chill bruh, I'm the one refusing to persecute someone for not pickin up shit. You all are doing the opposite.

Exactly, cause you wanna be a unique contrarian snowflake playing devil's advocate because why again? If you owned a dog and knew how often they shat, you'd know to think 'yeah maybe it's good the hundreds of dog owners around me clean up after them'. Especially the health risks they serve to children and other dogs as well.

Enjoy moonwalking around dog shit in your ideal world.

 

[Rich Uncle Skeleton]

When I'm walking my dog around the neighborhood and have to dodge pieces of shit on the ground (and keep my dog from going up to investigate and getting himself sick), I think to myself "What kind of garbage person just leaves their dog's shit lying around?" OP, you are that kind of garbage person.

 

[Chmpocalypse]

So my wife is upset that when I walk our dog and he takes dump, I don't pick it up, I am I crazy? It's biodegradable so where is the problem here?


(Edit: to be clear I don't let him do it on people's lawns or property only on side walks, bushes, bark, etc..)

Please stop being selfish and inconsiderate.

That what the OP is doing is not some crazy huge deal you're all making it out to be.

 

[mrklaw]

Dog poo makes me retch to pick it up which is one reason we don't have a dog. I'd rather not have a dog than have one and not pick up after it

 

[commedieu]

Sidewalks man?

Welp.

 

[Rival]

That what the OP is doing is not some crazy huge deal you're all making it out to be.

I bet it is to someone who's dog has died from illness directly related to people that think it's ok to leave shit laying around.

 

[diaspora]

ITT some people don't understand basic hygiene and sanitation.

 

[BlueSteel]

Oh, and shit attracts vermin. I'm sure you don't love that, so just pick it up man.

 

[TheLetdown]

Bacteria and other pathogens make their way, through stormwater runoff, into swimming areas that create health hazards.

I'm in Florida. This is a concern for me.

How quickly do you think biodegradability takes effect? Like soil just rises up to eat it? Is this Little Shop of Horrors?

 

[brawly]

You should pick it up. You might like it.

 

[Addnan]

Let me take a shit on the side walk near where you live and find out how biodegradable it is.

 

[Calamari41]

That what the OP is doing is not some crazy huge deal you're all making it out to be.

And you have summarily ignored everyone who has presented real reasons as to why leaving rancid dog shit lying around is a big deal.

So what are you doing here?

 

[Ralemont]

That what the OP is doing is not some crazy huge deal you're all making it out to be.

It's only not a huge deal because everyone else, or the vast majority, does pick up their dog's shit.

 

[Dandy Lyin]

Ray just loves stepping in dogshit. Stop picking on him.

 

[Michael F. Assbender]

It's good for the dirt
Not wasting plastic bags
Dog poo is about as offensive as seeing a pinecone

How many pinecones have you stepped on that have left a slick, smelly, bacteria-ridden substance on your shoe for you to track into your house where your kids play?

 

[Ultryx]

That makes you a fucking asshole. I've gone off on people before for doing just that. Pick up after your dog or don't own one.

 

[Ray Wonder]

I bet it is to someone who's dog has died from illness directly related to people that think it's ok to leave shit laying around.

Yeah, and I bet liquids dripping out of a car onto a driveway is a bigger deal to someone who had their dog die from licking that. Which one of my dogs did.

I'm not saying not picking up dog shit is better, you're misunderstanding. I'm saying it's not a huge deal. OP may have even just been a troll but "What's wrong with you, you're a piece of shit" is not what I expected when I entered this thread.

 

[Woffls]

OP some people wear nice shoes. Pick that shit up.

 

[jelly]

Disappointing OP.

Just take some little bags with you and pick it up. If anyone has ever changed a diaper, picking up dog shit is a million times less worse.

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

That what the OP is doing is not some crazy huge deal you're all making it out to be.

This logical fallacy though, lmao.

You realize if most dog owners didn't think it was some 'crazy huge deal' we'd have that many more assholes leaving their dog's shit around 'cause it's not a huge deal!'

 

[Lexxism]

Lol disgusting. You shouldn't be a dog owner

 

[Chmpocalypse]

Growing up, the neighbor three houses down would open their front door and let their two dogs run over to our front yard and drop their deuces. Apparently my dad saved like a big box full of them over time, and then one morning dumped the whole thing on their doorstep. Miraculously, the pooping stopped immediately.

OP, I hope a neighbor is keeping a secret dog shit box and waiting for the right time.

Your dad was a hero that day.

 

[Pops Maellard]

What's the incentive not to just pick it up? Takes literal seconds. Bags, even responsibly sustainable bags, are stupidly cheap. If you're unwilling to pay for it, you can even just abuse the free bag dispensers provided by your city.

Why not just pick it up super quickly?

 

[Shadax the wizard]

 

[Raptomex]

Don't want to pick up the shit? Don't get a dog.

 

[Jeronimo Jones]

And you have summarily ignored everyone who has presented real reasons as to why leaving rancid dog shit lying around is a big deal.

So what are you doing here?

Being a contrarian.

Picking up after a dog is one reason I don't own one.

 

[Ray Wonder]

Anyone ever been to a farm? Like do you all run when you smell shit like it's gonna grip you up and murder you?

And you have summarily ignored everyone who has presented real reasons as to why leaving rancid dog shit lying around is a big deal.

So what are you doing here?

No they didn't. You'd need some kind of statistics for that. As of right now I've heard anecdotal evidence of one person's neighbor puppy dying from parvo.

How many pinecones have you stepped on that have left a slick, smelly, bacteria-ridden substance on your show for you to track into your house where your kids play?

Probably only ones covered in shit.

 

[MUnited83]

So you regret not picking it up? You would do so now? What are you even trying to say in this thread?

Like most threads he participates in, he just goes in to check the consensus, and then immediately go against that consensus to show how a great unique snowflake he is.

 

[Phu]

Wtf, they literally make dog leashes with poop bag dispensers built in and it takes 5 seconds to pick it up.

No they didn't. You'd need some kind of statistics for that. As of right now I've heard anecdotal evidence of one person's neighbor puppy dying from parvo.

Do you really need research to show that poop is gross af and harbors diseases?

 

[Jack The Nipper]

people sure do treat others well

its like, you do something they dont like its the worse thing in the world to do that to a person but its fine to call you names and say you are terrible.

I won't say you are bad or something even though my grandmother always did the shovel into the woods thing for our dogs.

 

[Cappa]

Why do people even entertain ray wonder he's just trying to wind everyone up. Ignore the troll.

 

[Ray Wonder]

This logical fallacy though, lmao.

You realize if most dog owners didn't think it was some 'crazy huge deal' we'd have that many more assholes leaving their dog's shit around 'cause it's not a huge deal!'

And the world would keep on spinning. Animals shit outside constantly. Birds shit like every 5 minutes and there's like 400 billion of those fuckers above us.

Do you really need research to show that poop is gross af and harbors diseases?

Nope, I agree with this. This isn't what I said though so.

 

[Rival]

Yeah, and I bet liquids dripping out of a car onto a driveway is a bigger deal to someone who had their dog die from licking that. Which one of my dogs did.

I'm not saying not picking up dog shit is better, you're misunderstanding. I'm saying it's not a huge deal. OP may have even just been a troll but "What's wrong with you, you're a piece of shit" is not what I expected when I entered this thread.

Today's not your first day on neogaf. Did you really not expect people on here to crucify OP for saying he doesn't pick up dog shit? Sorry about your dog but I would expect that would be more of a reason to take exception to something like this.

 

[Admiral Woofington]

As someone with a dog who picks up every single shit, including if Im out of bags and I have to walk back home to get more, a sincere fuck you. If I have to step on one more god damn chocolate surprise because you thought "what's the harm" as an irresponsible dog owner I'm going to flip out.

Not picking up at a freaking mountain or trail if you're far away is one thing. In the middle of a city/town though? You're part of the problem

 

[Tony Iron Man Stark]

How do ya'll pick up the dog poop?

It takes me a minute to put it in a bag.

 

[Zelias]

It's baffling how this is even a question. Troll thread?

 

[Calamari41]

No they didn't. You'd need some kind of statistics for that. As of right now I've heard anecdotal evidence of one person's neighbor puppy dying from parvo.

I would honestly take the time to compile some parvo statistics (as if anybody who has ever owned a dog would need that compiled), but I know that if I presented them, they would be ignored or handwaved away by you.

Why do people even entertain ray wonder he's just trying to wind everyone up. Ignore the troll.

Seems obvious at this point. I can already see his response to my last statement. "You can't compile them because it doesn't exist" or some shit.

 

[Realeza]

You are a selfish, irresponsible person that doesn't have any business owning a dog if you can't afford to bend down for barely 5 seconds and pick up your dog's shit. Not too hard to see who's right.
