I visit a few local elementary schools with t kids and we always have to avoid dog poop. What to do when the asshats don’t care?

Same with the nice walking trials up in Bach, just past the 1st pit. Last time we went about a month ago was brutal and so smelly, we won't be going back there. Had to dodge every step you took. Also Shubert beach near York Ave. Disgusting down there.
Edit: spelling

Expect dog shit on the trails and you won't be disappointed. Try hitting a big pile on a bike. It can be nasty.

Oh I do expect some jerks for sure, that last time we went through there though....sickening. That would be pretty rude on a bike as well.

As a dog owner myself, why is it so hard to wrap a bag around your hand and pickup your dogs poop? Don’t wanna carry it? Leave a clip on your leash and clip it on. Heck, make your dog carry it

Sadly so many dog owners are very irresponsible. There are trails in Kenna that stink, and then there are those really considerate (sarcasm) people who bag the poop and then leave it for, well not sure what.

Last summer I was walking down Victoria St between 2nd and 3rd and a woman’s dog stopped and shit on the sidewalk and she went on to just keep walking. I basically said ‘excuse me, are you just going to leave that ?? and her immediate excuse was she didn’t have a bag. I’m a dog owner and I always seem to have one or two on me at all times. So I said ‘oh don’t worry I’m a responsible dog owner , I always have them here you go’ and I handed her one. The way she picked it up you could tell that she had NEVER done it before.

It is truly wild how many dog owners are so fucking lazy. Ban private dog ownership without a license.

I mean, you do have to license your dog as a resident in the city

Really? I had no idea. Does this involve any kind of training (like a drivers license) or is just pay the fee and away you go?

Had an old guy in my hometown that would walk around a park with one of those ball thrower things, if he seen your dog pooping he was heading your way if you "forgot" to clean it up he would try and pick it up with his ball thrower thing and more times than not accidently wing a log in your direction. He was arr3sted a few times but " it was an accident that did no harm" adventually people just started being smart

That old man is my hero. Up there with the guy who got arrested throwing eggs (i think it was, it's been awhile) at the antivaxx protestors who were blocking the hospital entrance early in the pandemic.Â

The way Kamloops is now, it could be human shit. You might be blaming innocent dogs.

Are you suggesting Kamloops City Council drop the Canadian Tournament & Crime Capital titles for the Dog Shit Capital (lazy dog owner) title?
I suspect dog owners have just lost interest in picking up their dog’s poop because there’s so much of it now, so why bother doing anything about it.
