There are laws that punish dog owners for not picking up their dogs turds off the street/footpaths

Why is it okay for horse riders to just keep on riding and not pick up their horse poo ?

Horse poo is just as bad as dog poo, you could argue it's worse due to higher mass, but there's no law to enforce horse owners and their horses from pooing everywhere, why ?

Don't get me wrong I prefer horses to dogs, but poo is poo so if there's a rule for dogs it should apply for all animals that are accompanied with a human no ?

Gets annoying on the coastal bike path trying to dodge all the horse poop and the occasional ******* dog owner who let's their mutt off the leash to run ahead so can't see it ******** on the path

I'd not heard of the coastal bike path, is it close to the path for walkers?

It's a path on the coast for bicycles, with the occasional human walking on foot

Shouldn't matter what make of turd it is, it's nasty and shouldn't be left on a footpath when there's a human around to clean up after their pet, would you be happy to have a horse ******** all over your living room ? why not ? it's only horse poo :rolleyes:

Oh dear...Do you live on the street then.
 
Its similar in that it takes 12 seconds for each respective animal to squeeze one out, beyond that no!
 
to put it simple terms.horse poop you could rub in your face no issues. do it with dog poop you could end up blind.

Sounds like you have experience

Doesn't matter if it doesn't make you blind, it shouldn't be tolerated on paths regardless of which animals anus it came out of

The thread isn't about the toxicity of horse poop vs dog poop, it's about the inequality that one pet owner can let their pet crap wherever they want without recourse while the other can't and it's somehow acceptable to get your bike or shoes covered in horse crap just because it doesn't make you blind.

The only good thing about horse poop is it can kill dogs

The difference in toxicity is very much relevant to the difference in law, so it's silly to dismiss it. More dangerous substances are more controlled than less dangerous substances, which makes a lot of sense.

Also relevant is the number of horses and dogs. Horse faeces used to be a major problem back when horses were extremely common and there was literally tonnes of horse faeces per day in cities, but now it isn't because there aren't very many horses.

Your initial premise of "Horse poo is just as bad as dog poo" is simply wrong, so the conclusion you drew from it is also wrong.
 
Horse poo on coastal cycle path is good example to those folk who say cyclists shouldn't be on the road when there is a cycle path.
 
Came off my bike thanks to some ungrateful **** leaving a huge horse dump smack bang in the middle of the road, just around a blind bend on Meaford Rd.. By the time I saw it it was too late, I was already on my way through the hedgerow and into a field via a barbed wire fence.
