Guest Anonymous Posted January 29, 2011 Report Share Posted January 29, 2011 if everyone caught not picking up their dog poop was fined £100 instead of being put on a course as the sic seem to be going ahead with, then the fines would pay for free poop bags with plenty more in the kitty for cleaning up after those that were not caught.As a dog owner I think the dog licence should be brought back and all dogs chipped and recorded officially, at the owners expense. That way idiots and dogs could be kept apart and persistent foulers would get caught and their dog licence revoked. it would make the pavements and play parks much cleaner and healthier places for everyone.

ascoyard Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 disgusted to see the amount of dog poo in Mossbank and surrounding areas.saw a woman near the old school centre with two jack russells letting them crap on the grass and pavement.she watched them do it and then just went off not in the slightest bit bothered.i pointed at it and mouthed" pick it up!" she put her nose up in the air and went.i couldnt do anything more as i was in a car going in opposite direction.clean up after your dogs or put a cork up their bum [***Mod edit - threads merged***] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest posiedon Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 Christ! Another thread about dogturd, WE responsible dog owners pick it up, I've always picked it up even before it was the law.The irresponsible people will not pick it up until they've been fined a few times.Find out who she is (not difficult in Shetland) And report her, job done.

piggywiggie Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 It puts a bad mark on us responsible dog owners when there are the few that dont pick up. Its quite upsetting! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shetlandpeat Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Before accusing folk, generally the law applies to 20/30/40 mph roads. So it is ok on a road above those limits, here anyway. I would guess elsewhere too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shetlandpeat Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 No pavements on a 50mph road? Just because there is a pavement, it does not always restrict the speed of the road. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyboy Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Aye I know who that is. She walks along that road most days raving and shouting at her dogs. To be honest they usually win the argument.the bit the poster is talking about is a pavement and then the grass running between the pavement and the old school center. She has also been seen letting her dogs do it at the bus stop before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shetland_boys Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 I have lots of respect to owners who clean up the dog poo but as for the people who leave it, there is not point getting mad at them they dont care who steps in it so they deffo dont care if you get mad at them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess elsewhere too. I don't think the original poster mentioned roads? OK you try and find two independent witnesses and a copper who is interested. What did the Council say when you reported it, I would guess they would monitor the area. Not really a Police matter. Here, the council will put up signs to indicate to folk that complaints have been made and the area is being monitored. As you seem to know the person, are you mikeyboy not now duty bound to report them, I think you are. You have the solution already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
