The parasite that can, sometimes, cause blindness, is roundworm. |

I think we may be back to square one Maggie. If it is left there, others may tread in it. If that became the general consensus we would be knee high in it, judging by the increase in dog ownership. |

My dad called horse dung 'doofers', because it will 'doofer' the garden. |

It seems that irresponsible dog walkers believe they can do what they like, particularly when nobody is looking & little will be done about it. |

I would never have needed to clean up my horse's poo Bob. The local gardeners had always removed it by the time I came back. :-) You say it's messy, but it's easier to get off your shoes than dog or cat poo and doesn't have the health risks as has been said. Also, it's more visible so you are not as likely to step in it. The worst areas for dog poo around here are the nature trails. Some people are only responsible when they can be seen I expect. :-S |

Because horse poo doesn't carry parasites that can blind people, Bob. That's why people should clean up after their dogs - or cats for that matter. |

This is developing into a very informative & educational thread. |

We live near several FC forests and when walking there we often see poo bags hanging from trees. We are on the committee for our local community woodland and our advice is to "stick & flick" off the paths and into the trees (making sure it is into a place where nobody will walk), where it can degrade along with the fox and deer poo. |

I did read on another thread somewhere. somebody said that if they are going for a circular walk they often hang the poo bag on a branch and collect it on the way back. My thought was..... How do they know which bag is theirs? |

I'm glad to see ( and I didn't think I'd be googling THIS today lol) that there are suppliers of biodegradeable bags made of natural ingredients which will compost in as little as 45 days :-) |

Following on from Graham and Dermot....In environmental terms, when walking dogs in the countryside at least or area where people don't go much, isn't the dog poo much less of an issue than the plastic bags to put it in ? One degrades quite quickly the other will be there for hundreds of years. |

You could always hang the bags in trees, like everybody else ;-) :-D |

It's no good bagging dog poo if we don't have bins to dump the waste. |
