OT The Mound of the Hound of the Baskervilles
Well the Mound of the Hound of the Baskervilles was left outside my garden
gate last night. I played back my CCTV and I found the culprit and owner. Now 24 hours later the same person has walked past with the same dog and left another mound further down the street. I was ready this time and I followed them home. Satan get thee behind me. My mind is full of ideas as to what to do with the dog ****(1). -- Adam (1) I know what I should do but I doubt I will. |

OT The Mound of the Hound of the Baskervilles
We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the
drugs began to take hold. I remember "ARWadsworth" saying something like: Satan get thee behind me. My mind is full of ideas as to what to do with the dog ****(1). Traditional schoolboy method. Place in paper bag. Place paper bag in owner's porch (or Porsche). Set paper bag alight. Ring doorbell. Hide behind hedge. Watch as owner answers door and stamps out the flames. or... Simply bag it up and put in a Jiffy and post it to him. |

Otherwise get some scary looking mates with you and knock on his door and tell him to never do that again. Or put a video capture of him up in public somewhere |

No. Unlike NZ we have indigenous wildlife beyond a flightless bird. With foxes roaming the countryside, it is hardly reasonable to penalise dog owners from adding to the piles of poo that are deposited by the abundant species that roam in the areas most suburbanites don't go. Agricultural land is exempt: A fact that many people who go to walk in it don't know, which is why occasionally we find plastic bags full of dog poo in the fields here. Id rather have the dog poo. |

Is there such a law in the UK? No. Yes, but it has to be enforced by the local council and there has to be evidence blah blah. Certainly where I used to live, South Cambs DC had signs up saying £1000 fine and so on. Unlike NZ we have indigenous wildlife beyond a flightless bird. With foxes roaming the countryside, it is hardly reasonable to penalise dog owners from adding to the piles of poo that are deposited by the abundant species that roam in the areas most suburbanites don't go. Oh I think it's entirely reasonable to penalise klods who take their dogs for a walk on public rights of way footpaths just so they can use it as a latrine.

Exempt from what? possble imposition of dog crap byelaws. |

There was a bit in the UK news recently, about farmers who would like dog owners to pick up and remove dog turds. Apparently it can contains a bug which is responsible for a large proportion of cows miscarrying. Google will find it for anyone who's interested. There are laws in UK urban areas, which chav-scum with status-symbol agressive dogs ignor. Council wardens issue penalties to pensioners who can't bend to collect the crap or school kids dropping litter. The police are hiding in their stations. I saw a blind man fumbling around to bag up his guide dog's deposit; there's no excuse for most others. |

Apparently it can contains a bug which is responsible for a large proportion of cows miscarrying. Google will find it for anyone who's interested. Not half as much as foxes. Foxes are disease ridden vermin, by and large. Most dogs are not. They are usually wormed and fed clean food, ot carrion.

I'd rather prosecute the countless mums who drop little Johnny's knickers in the streets and verges. Or toss nappies around to NOT rot. At least turds are biodegradable. |

It's not "a" or "a bug" it is three parasitic diseases, neospora, sarcocytosis and toxoplasmosis. All can cause abortions in cattle. The diseases can also be contracted by humans with similar consequences. TNP's advice to put dog**** on plants is yet another sign of his idiocy. If vegetables are grown in the same bed then there's a risk of the diseases in the dog crap being picked up by humans. |

I suppose doing it on the roof keeps the deposits out of sight. But hardly out of mind. It'll clog the downpipes, won't it? There was a thread last week about the necessary fall on the guttering. At the right speed, it should shoot down the pipe with all the speed of a speedy thing. |

Of course it was. A bunch of kids walked through it and made quite a fuss. There were leaves on the footpath so the **** was not easy to see. I cleaned up the large mess. Then I went through the video to see who had made the mess, and it ws the dog of an elderly man. Then I checked other days and saw the same dog making a mess on the otherside of the road. |
