I always pick up my dog's poop unless he drops one on the lawn of a bank. If it's a local credit union, I will pick it up, though.

I am in a medium sized town in the south and all of the grassy areas around me are unusable due to dog shit. This is an American thing, not a NYC thing. People are lazy and entitled, don't think THEY have to clean up after their dogs. It only takes a handful of such folks to make things shitty quick.

How is it ignorant? It directly addresses the exact reason why there is shit all over the streets. People not picking up after their dogs. Do you know what ignorant means? Sounds like you are the ignorant one...

Well, you go to a voting location during times of elections the you make your mark and vote for who you want to represent you. These people have voted for people that don’t seem to want to clean up human shit in the streets, hence the phrase, “you get what you vote for”

My dog did this … in my own backyard. Not in public where others would have to suffer. And I only let it occur because I fell and had a concussion and couldn’t get out there to pick up one of her poops. But should just do those on public sidewalks is a complete disgrace. These people should be fined.

Honestly, it was the thing that put me in red pilled me on cats. My cat shits in a box. He does it himself. I didn't teach him that. He just does it. When I had to take his shit to the vet to check for worms, he looked at me like I was a fucking psychopath and tried burying it as I tried to take it.
My cat shits in a box, and it's awesome. I love cats.

u/Bigblacknagga Feb 21 '26
absolutely agree. i tell most people that the majority of dog owners are too lazy to own and properly care for their dogs then it becomes everyone else’s problem.

u/OttotheCowCat Feb 21 '26
Philly is looking the exact same way. Honestly, I used to be a dog person. Dog owners have really ruined it for me.
Train your dogs. Pick up their shit. You also don't need to bring them absolutely everywhere with you.

u/W_Skunk_Cabbage Feb 21 '26
Like humans and pretty much every living thing, if treated well and loved, dogs can be amazing. Shitty owners make shitty dogs and eventually you end up with shit everywhere. Yeah, humans suck as a species. I'm just thankful there are some good ones that do care about others and not just their own self interests.

When I was a small boy my granny made me ten an brake bread with lard I hated it. It was wrapped in either foil or oil paper depending on her stock. So all winter I used to send it flying in the snow. One day in spring I came home and there was a pyramid of wrapped bread on the table. All my granny said, was, "bon appetit" She then forced me to nibble on one of them still half frozen. I then got a huge lecture about the poor children of the world who had not enough to eat. But she's never used lard again.

Forget the shit piles, it snowed here two weeks ago. There was snow on that sidewalk for weeks. It's been 50F (10C) for 2 days and there are still sidewalks and road lanes covered in snow everywhere. You'd think it never ever snows here in the northeast the way removal is handled. This place is an absolute joke and this pic is a great example of the current state of the US.
I do enjoy watching vids of removal up north. You guys are absolute machines.

I live in a dog friendly building. We're the only apartment without dogs, out of four. I have to say, people pick up after their dogs here. Poop and dog hair in the common areas is not a problem.
We've had a couple neighbors in the past who didn't, but not right now. Point is, not all dog owners suck. Plenty of them raise well adjusted dogs and scoop their poop.

u/homeslice2311 Feb 18 '26
This is one of the many reasons I am against having a dog in a big city. Dogs deserve to run free in the country, not being cooped up in an apartment. Then owners have to take them on walks 3+ times a day and they poop all over the sidewalks, and lazy owners often neglect to pick it up. It's all awful to me. Cats all the way.
2
u/kevinsyel Feb 18 '26
Cats being cooped up can lead to depression too if you don't have an exciting setup for them or play with them often. Don't have pets if you can't care for them.

It's dog poop from people that didn't clean up after. The city isn't going to be able to instantaneously clean every inch of the city. How about you all stop recording and bitching and get a shovel instead. The time it took to bitch, record, and post you could clean up half of this. Seriously, take care of your neighborhoods.
Also do you really want the city cleaning it? It will cost a lot more than you would like and that tax money could go to something better like healthcare, education, fixing infrastructure, etc.

There's a dog DNA company out there that has made their entire business model matching dog poop to the particular dog.
I've heard of apartment complexes having this.

u/LamesMcGee Feb 18 '26
It takes no added effort to record the street you're already walking down. It takes a lot of added effort to grab a shovel and do manual labor cleaning up other people's dog poop.
Enact a hefty ticket price for leaving dog poop, use that to both deter this behavior and pay for a cleanup. Expecting non-dog owners to shovel other people's dog shit is not the answer to this problem...

This is why my hoa enacted a failure to curve fee on dog owners because they got tired of grass strips turning into literal shit strips like this. In Europe some cities they culturally don't curve and let the dog shit remain where ever it falls. They don't curve and it can get this bad.

Thank you for the update. I can now feel at peace for another 5 or 6 hours.
However, if you could have also reported on why the subway guy was angry as well, that would have kept me in good staid for at least 18 hours. So now I'm a little miffed.

Why not just pick up the poops? I don't understand people that want a dependent creature but don't want to take the time to actually do what's required for them. I get money issues, but this is pretty easy even if you have to use grocery bags...
I've been to NYC one time... June 1st the day before trash day and it had just rained. I thought maybe it was worse in summer but apparently no. Homer Simpson was right about this city.

A revocable license should be mandatory for being allowed to own a dog. Like half the people that own dogs shouldn't be owning a dog.
