i am really infuriated by local people where i live picking up their dog poo in plastic bags and just throwing them into the trees.i know it means you cant stand in dog poo but those bags just stay there festering and breeding disease for who knows how long.i know its a very long time though.these people are idiots.

The whole point of scooping is to remove the poop, not just to place it in a bag. Place the bags in a trash bin, don't just toss them back in the woods. If you're going to do that, why bag the poop at all?

It will break down in sunlight but it will still be quite a while.
