Redditor Vents About The Poor Poop Disposing Culture Of Dog Parents
Some dog owners are getting called out for a habit that makes almost no sense, bagging up their dog’s poop and then leaving the tied bag behind anyway. One Redditor put that frustration into words, and plenty of people clearly knew exactly what they meant.
The post focused on a simple but annoying scene, someone does the work of picking up after their dog, then dumps the bag on the grass, trail, or sidewalk instead of throwing it away. That left other dog parents, neighbors, and walkers arguing over whether it is laziness, forgetfulness, or just plain disrespect.
The comments did not hold back, and a few of them got pretty funny too. Read on.
Some dog parents have serious questions to answer
The post garnered some attention in the Reddit community. We've compiled the most interesting comments for your viewing pleasure.
"Or they tie it in a nearby tree"
Some readers were quick to say the behavior makes no sense at all.
This dog parent admits doing it during walks, but they pick up and dispose properly on their way back
While I never condone littering of any method, my partner and I do this on our long walks with our dogs. Maybe a niche application, but it's a looped circuit, and we retrieve the bags on the way back.
"Hiking trails in forests around me are littered with these. I have zero patience for it. Pack it out"
This is hilarious 😂
People in the thread kept circling back to the same complaint, the bagging part is not the problem, the leaving-it-behind part is.
This emphasizes the need for collective efforts in promoting responsible pet ownership.
Either some people have a degree in laziness or there's some kind of reasonable explanation for this
"Someone in my 15-story apartment complex kept dropping poop bags off their balcony"
Someone needs to investigate this ASAP! 😂
That frustration only grew as more people shared where they had seen the same thing happen.
Encouraging community involvement can foster a culture of responsibility, ultimately benefiting both pets and the environment.
Oh no! This neighbor needs to be cautioned
Did anyone else find this funny? 😂
At least it wasn't intentional
One thing was obvious by this point, nobody in the comments was impressed.
These campaigns could include workshops, community clean-up events, and accessible resources that provide information on the importance of responsible waste disposal.
Additionally, encouraging pet owners to participate in local pet owner associations can strengthen community bonds and promote shared responsibilities.
"In my neighborhood, there's a person who keeps doing this. No joke, there are hundreds of dog poop bags scattered all over the walking trails"
"Somebody at the park where I walk my dog was leaving the tied bag right NEXT to the trash can"
"Last spring, I filled a grocery bag with all the 'delightful' poop bags left on my lawn"
"To play devil's advocate, the positive of bagging it makes the poop more visible"
From what this user is saying, some people bag the poop and leave it under a tree to throw it away on their way back. But unfortunately, they end up forgetting.
"I have dropped bags accidentally. Trying to handle two dogs and sometimes multiple poop bags can get fiddly"
"Omg, I have three big rescues...don’t even get me started on this"
Maybe every dog parent should get this gadget
While it’s certainly not the most fun activity to engage in, properly disposing of your dog's poop is vital to preserving the environment and the well-being of the general public.
Do you agree that dog parents should carry these used plastic bags with them until they find a more suitable place to dispose of them? Or do you have a better and more convenient method of disposal?

People were clearly more annoyed than amused by the whole thing.
