"I woke up this morning to find that last night I stepped in dog poop and tracked it all over my living room. This confirms a take that has been brewing in my mind for a while. Irresponsible dog owners are way more of a public nuisance than people living outside! "well homeless people also-" let me stop you right there, the scale of the problem is WAY worse with dog owners."
"Sure, I've have had to step over some nasty stuff on the way to the 7-11 but there are thousands more dog owners who don't give a shit about their dog's shit. Worse, there are thousands more on top of that who leave their poop and plan to "get it on the way back" (and, predictably, never do get it). And even worse, thousands more who like to bag up their dog's poop and leave it on the side of a trail"
A person stepped in dog feces and tracked it through their living room, prompting anger toward irresponsible pet owners. Many dog owners fail to pick up after their animals, some promise to retrieve waste later and never do, and others bag waste and leave it along trails where it persists. The scale of these behaviors is described as far greater than litter issues caused by people living outside. The described frustration places higher blame and emotional energy on negligent dog owners rather than on homelessness-related sanitation concerns.
