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.

Oh, absolutely not. I would admit to being wrong, and move on about my day better educated.
 
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

Retch? It's biodegradable tho?

Sidewalks man?

Welp.

Biodegradable man?

Welp.

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

Some people don't understand basic BIOGRAPHY and PHYSICS, it's biodegradable so who cares? READ A BOOK.

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

Vermin shit is biodegradable too, numpty.

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?

I got a A+ in Biography and I can tell you that your post is pure, moist, fragrant, perfectly sculpted, biodegradable crap

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

Put a toothpick in your one with a label on it so I can tell which one is yours and which ones are mine.

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?

Educating fools.

Biodegrading weak arguments.

Winning.

Biography? Dude you need to learn to speak before lecturing others.
 
The Native Americans were killed off in part because of dirty-ass people in Europe allowing animal feces to fester and pile up in the streets, hence the prevalence of all of that disease that racked the New World.

Don't repeat history. Pick up your dog's shit from off other's property. Please and thank you.
 
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..)

wow. fuck you
 
lmao.

Pls OP, take that shit. If everyone was like you we would be swimming in dogshit. I bet you don't like stepping into shit too.

Pretty much this. I lived in a third world country for awhile where no one picked up their dog shit because everyone had an opinion like OP. The entire neighborhood smelled like dog shit. You couldn't walk a few feet without almost stepping on dog turds.

The only reason some people in the US think it's acceptable/not a big deal is because everyone else picks it up.

"Canine parvovirus (CPV) disease is currently the most common infectious disorder of dogs in the United States.

'Parvo' is a highly contagious disease characterized by diarrhea that is often bloody. Prior to 1980, most canine parvovirus that caused disease was Type 2 (CPV-2). After 1980, CPV-2 was replaced by CPV-2a became more common and in 1986, another variation called CPV-2b appeared. In the past few years, a new strain, CPV-2c has been detected. Today, CPV-2b has largely replaced the previous strains as the most common parvovirus causing disease in the dog. There is currently some discussion that there may be other strains that are beginning to emerge and have yet to be formally identified. Current vaccinations have helped to control the spread of this disease but despite being vaccinated, some dogs still contract and die from parvo.
...
Parvovirus is spread through contact with feces containing the virus.
...
In summary, parvovirus is a very common problem that is a huge killer of puppies."

"If you're planning a trip to the dog park or a walk around a crowded park with your new puppy, you might want to wait a few weeks. A Kansas State University veterinarian says taking your puppy out before it has been fully vaccinated for parvovirus could be deadly, especially at this time of year.
...
The increased number of cases is because the weather is nicer, which is a better environment for the virus to survive, and owners are taking advantage of the warmer temperatures to take their pets outside and interact with other dogs. But owners may not realize their puppy is at risk of getting parvo until they are fully vaccinated, according to Nelson.
...
Parvovirus is most prevalent in dogs 6 weeks to 6 months of age and can be picked up through contaminated feces, tracked in on shoes and through sharing harnesses, collars or food and water bowls."

I pick up my dog's crap when it's on someone else's lawn or on the sidewalk (which he never craps on the sidewalk). But I use my judgement and don't pick it up most of the time when it's a random area like the edge of the woods, in the woods, corner of a field, or something.

And I'll be honest -- I only pick it up because I wouldn't want someone to see me not pick it up. Dog and animal shit doesn't bother me... I could see how someone wouldn't want another dog's shit in their own yard, but otherwise, I don't really get the whole big deal about it. Of course I grew up in an age where people's dogs just roamed the neighborhoods off leash and shit wherever they pleased. Not that I'd want to go back to those archaic times, it's just that dog shit has never bothered me and always been more of a funny thing like "Oh, watch out for the dog shit in the corner of the yard" to friends.

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

I'm not sure if someone leaving dog shit in your yard is making your yard less hygienic or sanitary (unless you're on the "it's no big deal" side). It's much more likely that the chemicals you spread on your lawn to keep it green are less sanitary and hygienic than animal poop.
 
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.

Shut it all down folks

there are birds already shitting everywhere, why pick up our dog shit? Why not just aim our sewage pipes right into streets and parks while we're at it, won't be much of a difference right? I mean there is already bird shit on the ground. World will keep on spinning!


Dude. Come on. When your defense for something equates to 'bububut so-and-so does it!!', it's time to rethink some things. And please, unless you go and seek out the ill fitted pigeon nest sign in front of the bodega, you aint gonna see a huge amount of concentrated bird shit. The rain washes that away bruh. Dog shit petrifies and stays there. For weeks.

Try again.
 
When was the last time you guys stepped in some dog shit? Been a long time for me since it's looked down upon not cleaning up after your dog.

Nobody checkin they shoes for dog shit anymore like back in the day, fuckin millennials.
 
Do that in the UK and you get fined.

Do that in Japan and you are the single most piece of shit in the entire country. What the fuck is wrong with you?

I honestly can't tell if this is brilliant satire or complete fucking idiocy. Amazing.

Water less hygienic than actual shit? 🤔
 
If I ran a fascist society people like you would be lined up against a wall and shot.

Bet you stand on escalators too you fuck.

lol


Are you guys telling me you really walk around with a bag full of hot shit? WTF?

and FYI: My dog isn't shitting in the middle of Time Square, its a normal California neighborhood sidewalk or bush, where all other animals shit- birds, cats, raccoons, etc..
 
What your pet does outside of your home is your responsibility. Maybe it is just how I was raised but I couldn't imagine just leaving my dogs shit somewhere(no matter how remote) for someone to mistakenly step in it some day. If I could get to that spot so could someone else, so I just have poop bags with me whenever I walk my dogs and take the couple of seconds to bend down and clean up after my animals.

lol

Yeah? Then you walk to the nearest trash can and dump it. People have been doing it for decades, there is no new mystery to be solved other than inconsiderate people that think they shouldn't be responsible for their pets waste out in the public space.

Are there no trash cans anywhere??? Double bag it if it bothers you.

Try walking on a sidewalk where most people don't bother picking up after their dog. You literally have to dodge old and fresh shit every few steps. It's horrifying.

We know, what the fuck is wrong with you. Nobody holds it directly they usually use the bag handles. Are you 12? This is basically stuff, that's why your wife is pissed.

Do your wife a favor and leave her, for her sake. She can do better.

Seems like parvo is a bigger deal than I thought for puppies, especially in parks and dog parks.

Although, I did actually said,
There're obviously spots where I would pick shit up.
Which would include parks/dog parks.

Have at em I guess.
 
There's just no way in hell you think it's fine to leave shit in the middle of the street where other people walk. Unless you like to step on it yourself. Put yourself in other's people's shoes for a minute.
