grooming your dog in the park and leaving the hair behind?!

In my opinion, dog poo doesn't need picking up if it's in the undergrowth and not around where people are going to be walking (that's where you'll find most of the wild animal poo anyway!) But obviously it needs picking up from footpaths etc as it's nasty trying to get it off your shoes and you wouldn't want children stepping it in.

But dog fur? Where's the harm in that? It's not smelly, yucky or unhygenic and doesn't cause anyone any harm. My parents have two fluffy sheltie who are constantly moulting, and every year thay find old bird nests in the garden lined with sheltie fur

You never ever know where a child will (and can!) accidently kick a ball ....

You do cover it up with dirt or leaves, like a cat does, and then its gone in a few days anyway.

There was dog poo everywhere when I was a kid, worst that happened was that I had to scrape it off my shoes every now and then! Do children not look out for it where they're walking anymore?

Its irresponsible in a different way to take a biodegradable product and preserve it in plastic in landfill for hundreds of years!
