Chalk one up for living in Australia!! 

Some people think it can be decorative and make a special effort at Christmas:

Yuck, is that really a thing? Disgusting.

While you don't have to suffer with this plague of dog  left dumped everywhere, you do have the joys of mother nature seemingly having it in for you with pretty much every other animal capable of killing you!

I call that a score draw!

Strange you mention that.... in the local paper yesterday, a guy in a suburb a couple of kms from Chez Bealman was taking his green wheelie bin out to the street the other night when a red-bellied black snake (one of the real nasties) bit him on the ankle. It was asleep under the bin!

He spent the night in hospital, but survived because he did the right thing - rang ambulance, stopped moving, and put a compression bandage on the wound.

George, you may not get this phenomenon in Wollongong, but we certainly have it here in Canberra, though rarely are the offerings posted in trees let alone in such large numbers as shown by Trainfish. Really quite picturesque the purple and white - quite like a tree flowering in winter.

A poo deposited on the ground dries out within a day or so especially in summer and would have disintegrated in a week especially if there are dung beetles around. A poo inside an orange plastic bag deposited on the ground will hang around for weeks if not longer all the while calling attention to itself. People think they're doing the right thing by bagging it, but they only make matters a lot worse if they don't carry it away.

Response to George's last past. I saw a 1.2 m eastern brown snake slither through our local dog park last Thursday. Red-bellied blacks do not kill humans (makes them very sick though), but the eastern brown is either the first, second or third most venomous snake in the world depending on what reference you go to.

Awful irresponsible behaviour. Who thought up the idea of misusing parks?

I've seen the same onn the Norfolk broads... but not dogs XXX... human, near fishing pitches..

I cringe at the thought.

Well, that's certainly put me off Cadbury's this morning

One thing that really annoys me are those who think it's a good idea to attach their dog's lead to their bike while they're cycling along.  So bl***y cruel and idiotic.

Looks like one of those surrealist adverts for Silk Cut fags to me ?

And another thing along the same lines. Who remembers white dog poo? You don't see it any more. Unless of course they hide it in the bags, in the trees.

Edit: Picture removed as it was probably a bit naughty for this thread 

Okay, okay.

This thread is taking a rather disturbing turn.

usually appeared after your furry friend had been gnawing on a bone.

don't think you can get them anymore, at least last time I tried the butcher told me they couldn't sell them due to EU regulations 

the pre wrapped things you can get from supermarkets / pet shops don't seem to have the same effect, and my hairy beast doesn't enjoy them anything like as much.
