My trip to/from work involves a 20-25 minute walk at the start of it. I have to look at the pavement in front of me constantly in order to dodge all the dog ****. I do regularly see people cleaning up after their dogs so I have no idea how there's so much **** everywhere. I do, I have to sift the "tray of joy" every damn day!! One of my cats is a house cat, but the one that goes out still comes home to use the litter tray. I've heard a lot of stories of people abusing cats round here because they don't want cats digging up the garden and dumping everywhere. Sure, you don't want a cat digging up your begonias and crapping on the roots, I get that. But that doesn't mean that you can hit someone's pet, or corner it and spray it with the hose. How would you like me to do that to one of your abusive foul-mouthed spawn? I really want to keep them both in but it just seems too unfair. The older one was always an outdoor cat before we adopted her years ago, and she cries like mad to be let out. She's also quite adept at sneaking past you when you open the door so often I have no choice, despite the fact that the little.... darling.... brought fleas home not long ago. (Yes, I keep up the treatment, but it only takes one or two tiny eggs.)
When my dog was young enough to go on a walk, I always cleaned up her poop. It always piss me off when I see dog owners not cleaning their pets poop, it's like they are saying ''I don't give a flying **** about you, you can walk on my dogs **** for what I care.''.
Yup thats the way I see it too. At the moment it's a bit hard to pick up after Harvey, he's a bit poorly and has a squirty bottom
