the bags of dog poo

As well as birds singing in the trees, there are also bags
of dog poo swinging in the breeze on land at Ashford’s historic
Godinton House estate.
Walkers have been greeted by the bizarre sight of plastic bags
containing dog mess tied to hedgerows and trees.
The disgusting practice has angered Godinton's estate manager
Nick Sandford.
He particularly dislikes the way uncaring dog owners are
bagging dirt and leaving it hanging like 'baubles’ from hedgerows
round the estate.
The estate's footpaths are widely used by walkers, with and
without dogs.
But recently there's been a spate of bags containing dog
mess left attached to the hedgerows or dropped in fields.
Mr Sandford said of the culprits: “Do they think there is a
dog fairy who magically whisks these away?
"It is enough of a chore picking up cans, packets and wrappers
dropped by a few walkers, but to collect bags of maturing dog poo
is very unpleasant.”
Have you seen this happening elsewhere? What do you think? Join
