    Twice in the past I've put the mess through dirty dog owners' letterboxes, and I'll do it again if necessary tho' it turns my stomach :mad:

    I always scoop the poop. The most embarrassing one was when we were walking past Tesco's once and there was a woman handing out leaflets. The dog decided to drop one right in front of the woman.

    I embarrassed this `snooty-looking` woman outside tk maxx on a really busy shopping mall. She stood there while her little pooch did a poo and she started to walk away. There was an elderly man with his street-cleaning gear and you should have seen his face, the biggest smile ever, when I said loudly to the woman `are you going to clean it up?` she did.

    I love all the bag swingers I see out and about. Its all about self-pride in doing the right thing

    Tox c is present in 50% of unclaimed dog poos. Could be so high because not being a good owner goes hand in hand with not worming the dog. Also found in cat poo by the way

    You should always clean it up anywhere livestock might come into contact with it. There are parasites in dog faeces which can cause abortion in cattle among other things.

    They're not those sort of fields. But I appreciate your point.

    We have very little cattle in Norfolk, it's all rape and sugar beet. The fields we walk past are beet or fallow. Were they to poop near to the road, I'd have to problem removing, but if they poop in the middle, I'd doubtless never find it....
    Though to be fair, I've never looked for it in a field.
    I ave a dodgy H, so sometimes I will sound dead common, on occasion dead stupid and rarely, pig ignorant. Sometimes I may be these things, but I will always blame it on my dodgy H.

    Sorry, I'm a bit of a grumble weed today, no offence intended ... well it might be, but I'll be sorry.

    Eeooh. Were you certain it was their animal? Couldn't you have just left it on the doorstep, if you felt that strongly? What if some poor innocent little mite picked it up?
