The Menace of Our Streets.

I just had a walk into town. It was a pleasant experience until I stumbled upon (quite literally) something that should not have been there…

Standing in dog poo is not something that I enjoy doing. In fact, it really annoys me! Why don’t people clean up after their dogs? You can guarantee that they never tread in it when they are on their way round to Somerfield! Perhaps if they did they would be a little bit more considerate towards other people. The worst thing about it is trying to get it all off of your shoe. And you can be sure that the guy who designed the pattern on your sole didn’t allow for this very well…

I have a really good idea for dealing with this disgusting problem. If dog owners were stopped randomly and asked if they were carrying the necessaries for cleaning up after their mutt then this could really help. If someone who is out with their dog is not carrying a ‘poop-scooping’ kit with them it is obvious that they do not intend to clean up their mess. A fixed penalty could be put into place for people like this.

I am sure this would help and reduce the amount of dog muck on our streets. Either that or the authorities could employ me to follow dog owners around. If I spotted anyone violating ‘The Pavement Code’ then I could simply tail them home with their dog’s mess in a bag and post it through their door (without the bag)! It may not reduce the problem, but it would make me feel a hell of a lot better.

Leaving your pet’s waste on the pavement is totally inconsiderate, unhygienic and unpleasant. I have never owned a dog but if I ever did then I would see cleaning up after it as being a responsible owner.

One last thing, it would be great if you guys could support this cause and hit this link. This Enigin Engery Savings blog has some really cool ideas for companies who are concerned about thier carbon footprint, I really wish that more people thought like them.
