We have bylaws in NZ regarding dogs,if your'e dog poops you must scoop, but to be honest alot of people completely disregard this bylaw, and I don't see it being enforced much either.

I get really annoyed if I see someones dog doing its stuff outside our section, even though the land belongs to the council, we are responsible for mowing it, so guess who ends up picking up someone elses dog poop, yours truely, if I catch them I will say something, but they could just walk on and do nothing.

Most beaches donot allow dogs on them for this reason alone, and we do have dog parks, especially for taking your dog for a walk, it is only common decency to poop and scoop , a little consideration goes a long way, to keeping our environment clean and healthy, if only we all would do our bit.
