This is an all over Chicago problem. I lived near a park WITH a dog park and you could not walk without your eyes glued the ground.

This is everywhere because somehow people think that when their dog poops in the snow, it magically disappears. I love dogs but damn, bad dog owners are some of the worst people on Earth.

Yea definitely an all over problem.

It’s honestly so annoying. Like, pick up your dog’s poop, it’s disgusting.

I would vote for some kind of reward/penalty system. Enforced fines for people who don’t pick up after their dogs, also a small award for people who turn in people who don’t pick after their dogs.

I wish it was legal to follow them and take a big dump on their stoop.

I can always tell when an irresponsible animal owner lives in an area. My building, there is hardly poop outside, there are over 6 dogs in our building, all picked up after. But then I walk down a street that has the same sized poop scattered everywhere. It’s always repeat offenders and they tell on themselves.

It’s so aggravating, but it’s frequently the same poopertrators that live on the surrounding blocks. It only takes 5-10 dogs to produce 20-30 poops a day. That’s 210 poops a week left behind.

Some good ideas there!  Watch the video and add yours?

I have never seen so much poop. I’ve noticed it across the city: so many giant turds, poop trails and sidewalk spanning splats that I’m lowkey concerned. Are the dogs okay? Is there a dog stomach virus going around? Or a shortage of poop bags?

I’m used the army of frozen turds resurfacing after winter’s final melt, but we haven’t even had a real snow yet so these are all recent. And impressively gross.

I hope your dog is okay. And that you pick up their poop.

Are the dogs okay?
