No, just any dog they simply don't like the look of, apparently.No one is talking about randomly walking up to dogs and kicking them
This is what being down the pub after a football match must feel like...
If you live anywhere mildly suburban you're not really going to encounter horse, rabbit, cow, or sheep poo are you? You rarely get cat poo out on the streets or in parks etc. not like you do for dogs. I'm not going to find the right links but dog poo is exceptionally bad/dangerous for humans - read below. Having it left around in kid's play areas is absolutely awful. If I see someone leave their dog's mess in the park it fills me with rage, it's so dangerous!
Indeed. A good friend of ours is practically blind in one eye because of dog poo, I think he was playing in the park when he was younger and didn't see it. Managed to rub it in his eyes. Awful stuff
in the 90s dog poop just used to sit on a field or whatever for so long that the sun actually would turn it white

Horse, yes, as many of the local parks either border lands with, or themselves have, bridleways incorporated.
Rabbit, yes. Fox, yes. Badger, yes. Deer, yes. Others, depends on the local environment.
Certainly public fields, green spaces and even actual play parks in several areas I've lived had such problems - Rickmansworth, Watford, Aylesbury and also Harrow, all pretty suburban, and all part of having recreational areas situated close by.
Didn't really get dog poo problems there so much, though.
No, just in your garden and on your driveway... and I've never heard of a neighbour's dog digging up someone's vegetable patch to then **** in it!
Toxoplasmosis is always a risk with cats - https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/toxoplasmosis/
So is most poo.
Cat poo possibly even causes mental illness - https://www.npr.org/sections/health...es-in-cat-poop-are-widespread?t=1606759450774
Fox poo (often mistaken for dog poo, especially in very urban areas where people don't realise foxes live) carries roundworm, which can lead to toxocariasis.
Rat waste (another underestimated urban problem) carries things like leptospirosis.
How do you know it was from a dog and not a cat or a fox?Indeed. A good friend of ours is practically blind in one eye because of dog poo, I think he was playing in the park when he was younger and didn't see it. Managed to rub it in his eyes. Awful stuff
That was more to do with the raw bone content of their food, and why you tend not to see white dog poo nowadays, as more pet food is processed crap.in the 90s dog poop just used to sit on a field or whatever for so long that the sun actually would turn it white

No. I grew up with dogs and feel comfortable with them. I just don't want them jumping all over my kids when we're out in a very open space and there's literally 100s of meters somewhere else the dog owner could have walked instead of towards us. (Young kids move very slowly)

This thread has lost all rationality. It started with young children being jumped on by a dog, which is potentially a dangerous situation even if the dog is being friendly. People aren't going around punting dogs because they don't like them.No, just any dog they simply don't like the look of, apparently.

No, well, apart from a few people on the thread suggesting it's what they'd do*, oh, and at least two posters having it actually happen to their dogs whilst walking.
* In reality they wont they'll more likely passive aggressively complain about it to their partners in ear shot of others.
You mean apart from the guy who booted a dog because it looked angry?
I love dogs, and would love my myself. But the thought of picking ups it's poo is a big turn off having a proper weak stomach.
My kids are also scared of dogs given the shelfishness of the few.
The amount of dog crap does my nut in come summer
Have you tried picking up a great Dane?

How did that happen?
Open cut on the leg from a stud wound. Dog crap unknowingly entered the cut. Caused a severe infection that resisted anti-biotic treatment.

Not the same guy but another example of how bad it can be.
And jumped on his kids and looked like it was about to bite them. Just a bit different from going around kicking random dogs for no reason like you seem to be suggesting...
