LETTER: Poop fairies aren’t in the cleanup crew

Dear Editor: I have two dogs after whom I clean up on their daily walks. I am always seeing bags of dog poop left behind by irresponsible dog owners who must think that the poop fairies will remove it.

Dear Editor:

I am always seeing bags of dog poop left behind by irresponsible dog owners who must think that the poop fairies will remove it. It would be better if they didn’t bag it to preserve for all time.

They could just move it off the sidewalk or people’s lawns and leave it for the environment to re-absorb. I understand that secreting it in garbage with other household garbage is creating a contamination hazard in landfills. Ultimately dogs are great, but if one can’t deal with what dogs produce, don’t own a dog.
