Animal Faeces

http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A11998461
This topic really frustrates me! I hate it when people leave their animal faeces in the streets, on fields, on the roads, in the areas where we and our children walk and play. It is shocking that anyone can be that inconsiderate to just leave it there and not clean up the mess, leaving it for people to stand in. Disgusting, and no, it's not any better if it's done by horses. I don't understand why people who ride horses on the roads are allowed to turn a blind eye to the mess they leave on the roads, where the public are also walking and travelling through.

This web page I have found offers a number of tips on how to deal with dog faeces, rather than leaving it for people to stand in. As the web page states, it may not be pleasant cleaning up animal mess, but if you wanted that animal then it is your responsibility to clean up their mess. Ideas such as using biodegradable bags and training your animal to do its dirt at home are two great ideas, or even adding it to a compost heap or planting it in the soil by your acid-loving plants to ensure that you're giving something back to the environment.

We can't just leave it on fields and streets where children play, imagine how annoyed you would be if you or your child stepped in it! I strongly believe that the punishments for leaving animal faeces should be a lot stricter to prevent people doing this disgusting act and to keep our streets clean.
