Would'nt that be irresponsible of you to allow your kids to take the dog for a walk with you knowing they don't pick up after the dog? In my book, that makes you just as guilty as them (looks like the kids wear the pants in the house).

I guess so :R

I am guessing you don't have kids. They love to say they have done something when they haven't or they do something and deny it if they think you might get mad.

They have come back with the poop back on occasion so I know they have picked it up. But, I also know kids are lazy and they may feel not like picking it up sometimes.

Nice try at the attack though.

As far as environmental impact is concerned, given the tens of thousands of raccoons, coyote, squirrels and other denizens of the wild that are found at the State Parks; dog manure is no different. The problem is, dog droppings are found where people tread. Also, of necessity we limit their travels, concentrating the "drop zone". Hence we need to pick up after our pets.

To not do so is rude, but so are some people.

Domestic dog waste is indeed different from wildlife waste. Even the waste of wolves and coyotes. Dogs have a digestive system designed to take on just about anything, but this also makes their poop pretty toxic for starters. Often dog waste contains bacteria, parasites, viruses, and other harmful organisms. A lot of these organisms are easily transmitted to wildlife, children, and it eventually ends up in nearby watersheds.

That's why it's a good idea to scoop the poop even at home. Because of the diets that we feed dog, their waste doesn't decompose nearly as quickly as wild animals. So these little land mines can hang around for quite awhile, waiting for a human or animal to step into it.

I would be laughing too hard to ever get that on my hound.

Sorry, I just use the classic plastic bag mutt mitten.

I have a pet. I am responsible and pick up after it. I have been to sites where someone else left poo behind. I just pick it up and don't worry about it.

I try to look around the site the very last thing I do before I leave. That being said I suppose it is possible I may have missed some at some time in my 36 years of camping. Some of the parks I go to do not mow the grass all that often and it can hide in the tall grass sometimes. ( I don't camp at places that have the grass manicured like a golf course. What's the fun it that ? )
