Selfish condo-sniffer dog owners letting their dogs shit and piss everywhere reeking the place up, you aren't getting away on the individual responsibility argument. Pick up that poop or you're just as bad as the rest of them.

        Yeah nobody chose to "pick up poop" in general. Conscientious dog owners chose to pick up their own dog's poop.

          if people have to be "conscientious", a bar clearly very few people meet, in order for their hobby to not scatter animal feces everywhere then perhaps that hobby should be banned

            Perhaps nobody should be permitted to hold objects in their hands in public, because unconscientious people will discard their trash in public, causing litter.

            Nah, just expect people to clean up after their dogs.

      I did not opt in to dog owners letting their emotional support creatures use my building & neighborhood as a toilet, personally I think dog ownership should be banned entirely but I will settle for you making it not quite as dogshit for the rest of us

        I mean, I don't make my dogs anyone's problem, and I'm no more responsible for your asshole neighbor than you are.

          yes you are, because you are both dog owners. there is no way absent genetic testing to tell which poop came from which dog. thus the burden of blame falls equally on all of you.

            Ridiculous argument, there's no way for me to know you didn't discard the Gatorade bottle on the street outside, so again, you can't have food or drink outdoors anymore.

              dog shit is much more disgusting than a plastic gatorade bottle and most commonly-encountered trash, which I routinely will myself pick up

              regardless I see dog shit far more often than I see actual litter like that.

                It's biodegradable, unlike plastic trash which is poisoning all of us.

                which I routinely will myself pick up

                Yeah me too, even though I'm not responsible for it or required to.

                Irrelevant, also anecdotal, I see the opposite.

            this doesn't track for me because we don't hold other groups collectively responsible for eg. maintaining a car or cleaning up litter. it would track with me that we all clean up our environment as much as we personally can and then hold responsible the ones who actually generate and neglect to clean rubbish, dog poop, etc.

        I think we should make many homeless people's one source of companionship illegal because poopoo stinky.
