but not exactly in what particular way they are angry. Are they quiet & mopey angry? Yelling at the world angry? Calm beyond emotions angry? Hell if I know, they lack the words to describe it.
On local shared hiking trails they make dog owners scoop up after them with plastic bags so it can be flung into trees further down the trail, but with the horses they can just do their business where ever they want on trail. Some sections get pretty covered in it.
On the multi use trails we have locally there are people who ride horses, but I have never seen horse shit on the trail while biking. though I have seen the dog poop bags on the side of the trail. on the hiking trails I see dog poop bags everywhere, would be happy if they threw it into the woods (without the bags, because even if they are designed to breakdown, that only in specific industrial compost heaps)
What’s the point of bagging to carry it and then drop it. You already did the awful part of bending down, staring at and smelling the shit, feeling its warmth and consistency with your fingers…
I’ve had dog owners say they don’t want to carry the poop with them on the hike and they will grab it on the way out. Which at best is a 50/50 shot. I let them know of a product called a dumppouch when I see them do something like that. I carry one for garbage I find on trails as humans make a mess pretty much every where.
I wish this was the case at my local park. It is surrounded by horse stables and owners. There’s a lot of horse traffic being one of the local rural areas with horses. The local roads have flashing signs to warn of horses on the road and to slow down. There’s even a pub further up with a small paddock out front for owners to tie up their horses while they go in for a pint.
I would think just flicking the dog poop off the trail would be better for the environment than plastic bags left everywhere but in the times above when car first came around, our cites were covered in horsesh!t and in some cases bloated horse carcasses waiting to be disposed of. In many respects we’ve come a long ways since.
It depends on how much poop is in a specific area. There is a gradient. Like a little bit isn’t bad, but one you start getting piles it can be pretty bad for the area if they aren’t allowed to breakdown or aren’t removed.
There's a few reasons for that. One is obviously the having to get off the horse to deal with it but also dog poop smells way worse and doesn't degrade the same as horses does. It really doesn't take that long for horse poop to turn to pretty much dirt.
-someone who's shoveled or mowed over my fair share of both
My family watched the movie Clue about a million times. Can quote every line by heart. To this day, we only have to look in one another’s eyes whenever a quotable opportunity comes up. “Are you trying to make me look stupid in front of the other guests?” “You don’t need any help from me.”
These are the exact type of people that sit at home watching Fox News all day, every day. Getting outraged at ridiculous made up controversies and big lies that are designed to convince them that the only way to "save this country" and solve all of their obvious problems is to vote Republican. And when the Republicans get in power of all three branches, like Trump for example, now it's the "deep state" and the Democrats that are holding him back and the answer is yet again, more Republicans.
That's why I personally will never understand the people who intentionally don't vote. The dumbest, most brainwashed motherfuckers in the entire country are going to show up and help put their corrupt overlords in place, and y'all are just gonna let them pull the rope? That's something i'll never understand.
