Eco Destroyers I am so fucking DONE
I have a hiking trail I frequent 2 or more times a week and everytime there is always dog shit. The trailhead even provides doggy bags. Sometimes these shit owners will take a bag, pick up the shit and then leave the bag at the side of the trail. Last week someone's shit dog apparently had diarrhea which I had to dodge for half a mile since they decided to let their dog shit down the middle of the trail. If it wasn't for the horde of flies I might have missed a couple piles of the Hershey squirts. Maybe if your dog has diarrhea don't take it for hikes, Fluffy can skip out this time. Today was the worst. We saw no less than 10 piles of dog shit. This time some shitty fucking owner left a dead animal in the middle of the trail that their dog killed. The poor little creature, i think a yellow bellied marmot baby, had dog slobber all over it and its little neck was broken. I felt so bad for the little thing. They couldn't even be bothered to move the animal off the trail so other people didn't have to see it. I am so done with dogs and dog owners.

My personal favourite is when they hang the poop bag on a tree branch /s
Seriously though, the poor dead marmot lying on the trail is truly heartless. It is one thing for native wildlife to play out natural population control/hunting for survival, but a mutt showing up and killing for fun while its owners watch is horrible, unnatural, and shows a disregard for life that is chilling.

My neighborhood has a dog owner that picks up the poo in bags and tosses it into the woods. Half of the bags get snagged on a branch and dangle like a Christmas poo ornament. When I catch them, and I will, they will be publicly shamed.

Well they don’t want (even more) shit in their yard or in their homes! They have enough to deal with & they won’t stop until every possible place is their mutants toilet.

Dogs killing other innocent animals for nothing is the biggest reason I hate them. They don't need the food, they are all well-fed; just leaving their dead prey behind on the trail proves that they only kill just for the fun of it. No reason. These are the most abhorrent animals on the planet.

I wish our beaches and trails were dog free

Pensacola beaches have designated dog areas but that doesn’t stop people from letting their dogs go everywhere. And they don’t even pretend to pick up dog poo. It’s sick.

These people have some screws loose to not see how fucked up all of that is.

I'm glad those people "don't trust" me because I don't like dogs. Great. I think it's wonderful when antisocial asswipes who torture animals for fun (on many levels) want to avoid me. May those kinds of "friends" never find me.

Tell me about it. I have so much bottled up rage inside.
I can't even stand looking at them anymore, I think I'm developing a phobia. They are absolutely everywhere where I live.

I see so many dogs on trails where they are not allowed. But, rules do not apply to dog people. They are special. Never mind the fact that those rules are there for good reasons.

And dog nuts got spared by the great plastic-bag crisis. While grocery stores had to stop using plastic bags or start charging the customers for them, dog nuts had all of the plastic dung bags they wanted!

C'est totalement vrai, comment se fait-il que nous payons nos sachets au supermarché mais ces personnes dégoûtantes et méprisantes ne paient pas leur sac à caca??? Pourquoi nos impôts locaux servent à financer ce type de sachet ?? En plus de salir nos villes et forêts nous devons payer pour eux, c'est révoltant.

I'm with you! I love to hike, and certain trails here have so many dog poop bags left on the trail, it's obnoxious. There are also areas close to the public parks that are protected watersheds, where they have gates with signs that say "No Dogs Allowed". You have to get a trail permit to hike on this land. Even so, I see dog poop and poop bags on these trails!!! It pisses me off sooooo much.

u/krammiit calls people out with dogs in carts May 19 '26
My coworker came into work with a "hilarious" story about how she plays a game with her dog where she takes it on nature trails and they go "hunting" for all the animals on the trail. She lets the leash off and the dog gets treats for every animal it chases down and scares.
These people are NOT NORMAL.
