Don, toilet training is something people do when they are very young. When they need to poop, they are taught that a better place to do it than in their pants or on the couch in the living room is in the toilet. Animals also [many of them] also prefer pooping in selected places to avoid fouling their living quarters. Horses in a paddock for example will have a pooping zone as our horse did decades ago. Cats will dig a hole and bury their poop. < I am also trying to figure out what to do with plastic bag they came in with the rest of the groceries, Oh I know what I will do with it..., I have to walk the dog later today thru the park but where will I find the coal seam to take care of the bag and "contents"...Oh fortunately there is a ditch, roadway, empty field nearby or a stream that empties into a lake and eventually fouls up the sea> It's a stretch to expect all people who own dogs to be as well trained as a cat, or as sensible as a horse, or as educable as a child, but have you considered taking the poop in the plastic bag to a rubbish bin? I don't know where you live, but I have not seen people throwing dog poop in plastic bags around the community. Soft drink cans, KFC and McDonalds wrappers and all the other disposable stuff that comes with consumables is chucked around, but supermarket bags almost never seem to end up thrown around. If they do, they don't end up in the sea. If rubbish throwing is a problem, the sensible thing to do is punish the people who insist on pooping on your couch, or in your letter box or in your hedge or drain. Turn them into organ donors. Hey presto, two problems solved - shortage of kidneys and poop in your letter box. Singapore has almost no rubbish thrown around. Near-zero graffiti [I did find one surreptitious little scribble in a tunnel]. Caning that American brat was a good move - taught other people to mind their manners. Mqurice
