Why do some dog walkers pick up their dog shit then leave it dangling from a branch or resting on the coping of a nice old wall ?
Because they need both hands to whack the dog with a stick?
To complement the discarded inner tubes on the other branches?
This is news to me.
Good thread.
Not this again.
It's because they don't want to carry a bag o' warm dogshit around with them. And there's no one around to give them the evils.
^^^ Here be the truth
Because they're ****s, but not quite as big a set of ****s as those who don't pick up dog shit at all!!
Have you ever tried crapping in one of those little bags? Of course I'm going to show off my handywork.
Joe Cocker?? Dead??!
What I don't get is why they don't just hoy them into someone's garden rather than leave them on display. At least then somebody (the occupier) will likely dispose of it for you (unless he takes a direct hit, in which case: mission complete!). You could get some right purchase on one of those little bags filled with big heavy turdage. It'd be like dog-egg Dresden.
My elderly mother sometimes leaves them hidden for collection on her return leg. We got her little stickers that say she's coming back for it.
I just don't get it.
In the winter they serve as impromptu hand warmers.
Well, until the plops have cooled down, then I just hoike them into the canal.

I was cycling to work along the canal yesterday when whilst watching an otter I rode through a dog turd. That pissed me off because 1. I hate having turd on my tyre, frame and face and 2. The last thing an otter needs is his/her place littered with shit from a fellow carnivore; given that they can be prone to the same diseases that dogs are. Chucking poo in the canal would be so stupid that you would be too embarrassed to admit it so I can only assume you are taking the piss.
I think you are safe to assume that
Chucking poo in the canal would be so stupid that you would be too
The poo is in a tied bag. I'm not a savage.
Given that chucking poo in a tied plastic bag into a canal is an even more weirdly stupid thing to do, I am now reassured that you are taking the piss.....
Whilst stopping in Wales before Christmas there were signs as you walked up in to the woods requesting you kick it over in to the undergrowth rather than bag it up. Something if off the pavement and out in the big outdoors we've been doing since we had el dogio. Gotta be better than bagging it up in something that takes years to rot away.
Is there an app that tracks how far a poo bag is thrown? Where you can claim a distance or speed record?
Poo of the Mountain?
The larger bags do make the poo come alive!
It really annoys me. By the canal near me, there is a pile hidden behind a stone wall waiting for the s-hit fairies to collect.
There's the ancient custom of throwing a turd-bag over a pub. Held in the Leicestershire village of Little Snetton since 1166. Last year saw a crowd of nearly 300 people turn out to watch the winner for the 2nd year running throw a bag of his Great Dane's droppings over The Red Lion public house.
Fines fr dog fouling £1,000. Fines for littering non-existent or £15.
Unintended consequences.
(and yes I always take mine home or bin it)
As has been said, some (including myself) do it when the return journey comes back past that point. Saying that, there's a discreet way of doing it which doesn't include hanging from trees or leaving in clear sight.
As a dog owner I get as pee'd of as anyone else with turd left everywhere.
I was just about to post the same as Cougar. I found it in one of these threads with a quick google

Why don't people just push it through a letterbox? 😉
This winds me up as I see loads of poo bags around - some old and some new.
What I don't understand is those who bag it up and then leave it... What's the point? you're better off not bagging it than letting it dissolve in a sealed environment.
Personally I've got a dog who comes out with me for ride - If she poo's on a path/trail or near one I bag it up and put it in my backpack. If not near a trail/path I'll "stick and flick" so it's broken up. If I'm walking I'll always pick it up and carry it around with me.

You've seen the front garden down the road from me, haven't you. A flat-dweller, a big dog and a confined garden made for dog egg nirvana. Amazingly a flat in the building just sold and the garden was cleared - I hope it was the dog owner that tackled it.
Strange fruit
I'd actually rather they didn't pick it up at all (or better, stickenflick) than do the weird poo bauble thing.Because they're *, but not quite as big a set of * as those who don't pick up dog shit at all!!
kick it over in to the undergrowth rather than bag it up
The army just loves this from dog walkers on their training grounds, as their trainees and cadets belly crawl through the undergrowth they get covered in it.
Army response is to close off as many parking areas as they can which are close to their training grounds, so that irresponsible dog walkers go somewhere else with their little sh1t machines..............
