The Kintyre Forum

Do you think there is a problem in Kintyre with regards owners not tyding up after their dogs?

Do I remember correctly , but was there a '' Dog Toilet '' site on Hillside Road? An open air type of convenience !
Opposite the telephone box I think.
I thought that the Toon Council had this covered with enough facilities , it would be a shame if they have closed them down.

I personally think it is disgusting to see foul in the streets or the parks.

Dog owners have to take more responsibilty when it comes to their pets. It is pleasing, however, that the majority of dog owners now take responsibilty.

It is just the minority as usual who, at the end of the day, should not even have the dogs in the first place.

Afterall, it isn't the dogs fault it leaves the mess there!

DITTO.

You could not have worded a better reply Iona.

Problem still remains up here in Carradale. I raised this subject many years ago when involved with the EK Community Council and ongoing through Kintyre Crime Prevention Panel.

Until someone is made an example of and prosecuted ( if not done already) it will continue to be public nuisance, so name and shame the culprits.

I'm not sure what it's like now but it had been particularly bad in the viscinity of the play park and the path up to it.

re: carradale - along the avenue there are special bins now for dog waste. I noticed that along this walk instead of piles of dog poo, there are little blue bags neatly tied at the top filled with dog poo. I nearly screamed out loud with the frustration of it, Obviously some people out there are either too thick to understand the whole concept of bag it and bin it, or they are just plain wicked and really don't give a toss. I almost preferred a pile of dog mess, at least that will rot down, what hope do these bags have.

Is Garys bags blue in the poop bins? if not look out for the blue bag carrying suspects.

If they've come from the bag dispensers a-top the bins then they're 100% bio-degradeable (as is their contents, eventually), but I agree there's no excuse for not carrying them to one or other of the bins and getting rid of them properly.

They're green, I think.

What a charming discussion!

Roll on the day when it's a problem that no longer warrants discussion, eh?
