Jackson Heights Life

Security cameras. Drones. Hellfire missiles.

If we're going to have targeted assassination in the US, I vote for the poop leavers as Target #1.

Me, again! This morning I was walking down the street and again dog poop EVERYWHERE! I just rest my case. Maybe we could form a group and leave baby poop all over the neighboorhood and hopefully some of these dog owners/"lovers" will step into it and get the feeling... Who knows..

Oh, it's much better than it was back in the 80's. The scoop law, even though it's not really enforced, has gone a long way toward improving our quality of life in the neighborhood. It used to look like a public toilet on the sidewalks.
We've still got a ways to go. To me, not picking up after your dog means you're not qualified to be a dog owner. Is the dog supposed to pick up after itself?
However, we need more places for dog walkers to dispose of the waste. No one seems to bring the waste back to their home to flush. Disposing of the bags in public waste baskets only adds to the unique aroma of the commercial district. Some of the co-ops used to have plastic garbage bags out for dog walkers to  use, but I don't see them so much these days.
Unfortunately, the homeless problem in our neighborhood also means that some of what you see in the morning is not to be blamed on dogs.
But still much better than back in the day.

Those people who do not pick up make it bad for all us dog owners. I get yelled at when my dog IS NOT EVEN DONE POPPING!  Some people need to wait until they see that I am going to pick it up!  - they have no right to yell at me before anything happens! - Ive been picking up poop for 16 yrs now.

Poop and SPIT are nasty.

Truly enjoying this thread hehe. Is it just me or has the dog poop problem improved?

back when i lived in a private house here, we had a fire hydrant in front of the house. that encouraged dogs to pee. fine. that's one of the main reasons those hydrants are there. but it also encouraged them to poop. also fine, if the walker cleaned up. if i was outside and saw someone walking away, i'd offer them one  of the scattered ad circulars to clean up. that almost always worked, with grumbling.one time, a young woman told me to f-off, and left, so i picked up the mess and followed from a safe distance, until she got to her home, where i left the crap on her doorstep.
