Why do people put dog shit in plastic bags????

There are big fines for 'dog mess', the councils have inserted bins
at strategic points along the highways, by-ways and parklands
of this fair city.

The Middle Class wear their dogs as accessories, and carry with
them little plastic bags full of shite as they walk in their globalised
leisure gear.
Must they shit in wee plastic bags?
Must they shit in wee plastic bags?

Oh what a funny world we live in !

Shit degrades and is good for roses, but dog shit in a bag is not good for the
planet. The average middle class believes in the propaganda about picking
up the shit and putting it into a plastic bag, then walking with it in their
hand to deposit it in a bin.

Averages are if you have a dog:-

1. You cut it''s bollox off- and it looks unbalanced.
2. The leisure gear is from a sweat-shop and was probably made by a kid.

This then is how we view society =

shit is good for roses.
Globalisation leads to child labour.
Its not good to cut the bollox off your dog.
It really is not attractive to walk up a road with a gelded animal
and a small bag of shite in your hand.

Remedies:

1. Use a paper bag to demonstrate civic responsibility.
2.Let the dog shite in the park and cover it up ( it's what they do)
3.Wear clothing that at least has some type of ethical basis.
4. Thanks for picking it up anyway- as it sticks to the shoes.

Do the civic minded in our country who pick up the dog-shite really know
enough about global politics- energy crises etc?

Do you think putin Picks up his own dog-shit and puts it in a little plastic
bag or do his people do ot for him?

This can be extended into other messes they make-

For example a young grey woman collapsed on the road today- trying to get
her kid to school (she had pneumonia) , no supports, no money, no medical
care. in the 6th richest country in the world.

Does He Pick up Dog-Shite in a Bag?

Tá níos mó i madra na déantóir caca!

Ná bíodh madra agat muna bhfuil tú le aire ceart a thabhairt dó. Ní sclábhaí ná bréagán ná maisiúchán é.

Ach is maith liom madraí!

Is maith liom madrai ach ta chat agam.

Ach nuair a chuaigh me go dti na scoile ar maidin, stad bean agus chuir si an chac
in mala beag {plastic} agus ansin chuaigh si siar na boithre agus an mala chac
ina lamh.

{yeuk]

Bhi 'global branded labels' ar a bhrogai agus ar a arse.
Nil a lan gaeilge agam, mar chaill me e ar thaobh na boithre in Rinn
I chontae Phortlairge, blianta is blianta o shin.:-)

Nuair a bhiodh madra agatsa- an cuireann tu an chac in malai beagin 'plastic'?
Ta siad ag dul go dti na 'landfill' . Madra h'alainn aici, ach nil se ag chac ar na
blathanna- ach In malai beaga!
An madra bocht!

You may have a point but the street on which I live is Dogcrap Alley. One of my neighbours lets his dog out every morning and every night to have a crap. The b*st*rd invariably craps on my doorstep, never on his own. It's not the dogs fault, the owner never brings him for a walk. Sometimes if I'm going out and in a hurry I walk straight out the door and into the crap, bringing it unwittingly into my car - sometimes its the other way out and my hall carpet (which is brown) gets crapped. Now I have found a solution. If the dog won't shit on his own doorstep we will have to bring the mountain to Mohammed so I am now using a long handled shovel to implement my Return to Sender policy.

I do not have a graphic- but imagine it as the water cycle ye all
learnt in school:

Taking as an example the above lady who picks up the shit in a plastic
bag.

1. A dog (without bollox) is walked every day by a lady wearing
globalised gear.
2.It is determined that the brands are the products of the sweat-shops
and are probably made by kids (collaterally known as slave labour).
3. The dog costs a lot of money. Kennel club. vet fees.diet. pampering.
4.The dog is therefore not a pet but a luxury item and also a class
item.
5.The dog shits on the street.
6.Lady picks up the shit in plastic bag and walks a couple
of hundred feet to a plastic bin to deposit the shit.
7. The shit in the plastic bag goes in the land -fill and the councils
support the incinerator plans.

Now :-

if the dog is a pet:-

they are loved and let go mad in the park.
where they very cleanly shit on the roses and cover up
after themselves. They generally have bollox, though we like to neuter
the bitches. If they shit on the street the owner, should indeed get a shovel.

So- in conclusion, do not get a dog unless you are prepared to
be responsible with the animal and allow it live it's essential'dogginess'.

This cannot be achieved by bagging its shit and destroying the planet.
Does Bertie clean up the shit his dog makes?
