No Pooping in Community Spaces
How Much Bacteria Is in Dog Poop?
A single gram of dog feces can contain 23+ million fecal coliform bacteria.
A single dog can produce about 0.75 pounds of waste per day, which adds up quickly in urban environments.
01
Why is it fucking lame?
If you choose to have a dog, you should also choose where its bathroom is, not assume the neighborhood is one. Owning a dog is a personal choice. When someone lets their dog relieve itself on other people’s lawns, sidewalks, gardens, or shared green spaces, the burden of that waste is pushed onto neighbors who didn’t choose to have a dog.
02
Why is it disgusting?
The 100 degree waste contains millions of bacteria and parasites. It is untreated sewage sitting on the ground. Unless you are waiting there to catch the warm steamy turds, even after removal, traces of fecal bacteria and pathogens remain on the ground. And really, watching you witness the dog anus turning inside out and bending over to smear it up, pretty disgusting.

Public Health Hazard? YES
Los Angeles dogs put out a MINIMUM of 4.05 million pounds of turds per day! The 5.4 million dogs pissing multiple times a day is 570,000–1.14 million gallons of urine each day. Why do you think you are entitled to do this!??
04
Disregard for Gardners.
It shows a blatant disregard for the city workers and gardeners who must maintain grass and landscaping that are repeatedly damaged or killed by dog urine and waste. And you dispose of it in trash cans for someone else to remove for you! You often don't even dispose of it yourselves! WTF?
05
Children Contaminated
Studies of public parks and playgrounds in the U.S. and Europe have found that 10–30% of soil samples contain parasite eggs from dog feces, particularly the roundworm associated with Toxocariasis. One pile of dog turds can release hundreds of thousands of microscopic parasite eggs into the soil, that yes creepers, when picked up stay in the soil months, and even years.
Why not help save wildlife?
Americans spend roughly $70-75 BILLION dollars a year on dogs alone.
-26% less is spent on the ENTIRE Wildlife Conservation Effort = $55. billion per year is spent on conservation activities such as habitat restoration, wildlife management, and public land protection.
Domestic dogs threaten at least 188 endangered species worldwide and have already contributed to 11 vertebrate extinctions. -Science Direct, The Global Impact of Domestic Dogs.
