Short and sweet.Have witnessed loads of english owners allowing there dogs to S*#t everywhere around here.Cant speak for our Turkish friends,but you wouldnt allow it back home,so why not carry bags and clean up after dogs,Had a staff for a friend for 3 months here and carried a bag and scoop wherever we went.Job done.Unsightly,unhygienic,stinks.
-
I agree. It's a display of ignorance not to clear up.
-
i agree but not in a plastic bag!!
i am surprised how little dog poo i see in the area considering the amount of dogs there are here!!
the mountains of fag ends and rubbish left on the beach by people and bars is more offensive to me than the odd bio degradeable dog poo!
-
if not a plastic bag, then what?
-
paper poop bags or newspaper!
-
I take your point, but don't fancy using paper incase it splits, ewwww.
-
Considering the horses,cows, sheep, goats, chickens and wild boar at night which roam the area I think a pooper scooper for a few dogs is not going to make a lot of difference. My Turkish neighbours have the answer they keep their dogs chained up all day in the garden and leave them to roam the area all night so no one sees what they get up to. There are also numerous stray dogs to add to the fun. :)
I am also surprised how clean the area is. I think it is because the insect world are such good cleaner uppers!
-
wild boar?! no wonder my dog is neurotic! hehe!
i hate seeing them tied up all day,i would take them all for a walk if i could. :)
not the wild boar... the dogs!:D
-
The irony being that dog owners walk away from their own properties, so that their pets can deposit it outside your apartment (not so nice when you're sitting on your balcony and they do it right outside and leave it there!!!! It would be nice if there was a little bit more thought. Great if you want to have a 'poo' hunt or did I mean bear hunt!
-
I agree, the farmers are so inconsiderate too. I have a herd of at least forty goats go past my house sometimes twice a day, horses are herded by to go for grazing and the chickens wander along outside too. Shall I hand them industrial size bags do you think?:D
-
I bet he was taking them past long before there were any houses there too.

How dare they do that in THEIR country.

Exactly, but British women walking their dogs are an easy target, are they not?
-
Yes

i swear its the dogs who dont like doing it on there own turf!!! it would be far less embarrassing if my dog would poo on my doorstep but he wont!!:D he prefers very public places usually opposite packed bars and restaurants!! :-\:D a woman shouted at me once for LETTING my dog pee, i told her i was a farely good handler but hadnt mastered the wee on demand command just yet!!!:D
-
PMSL....:D
If only we could conquer that training command ;)

I dont th ink that horses,goats etc really come into it.If you didnt clean up after your dog in the UK,then thats one issue,and if you now dont do it here,because you aren't liable at the mo to pick up a fine,thats another.Get yourself a look at " Me,myself and Irene" to see a possible solution to those who think its acceptable,bio-degradable!!What a load of crap!
-
ROFL, well said!
-
is there anything more organic and bio-degradeable than poo?
just common sense here! obviously if your dog decides to drop one in the middle of the beach front you would endeavour to clean up!
i still cant believe just how clean and free of dog poo the area is considering the stray/general dog population.
as i said in previous post the human rubbish deposited on the beach and in the sea, and around the bin areas is far more obvious and problematic than the odd doggy doo!!!
how funny! a debate about poo!!:D

Bear in mind that horses/goats are on a more organic diet than dogs?i.e. straw,grass foilage,makes a different composition and doesn't stick as easily to the bottom of me Doc martins,and is great on my roses.Post was as much about the principle as the toxicology etc of poo.Anyway,back to me auto-trader.

On the subject of poo, does anyone want to complain, walking in the mountains, forests etc, the amount of human poo, which dogs uncannily managew to find and love, made by goat ladies etc. Who would complain about them. If the lane or road is unmade, don,t think it,s a problem, not that mine do it, but this Turkey and as you say, it,s farm land before you and animals have rights.
-
I wonder how many dogs have been given a home or taken to the animal shelter by European people. How many dogs have been neutered thanks to the British population and tourists? The vast majority of dog owners in the area own what was once a stray. There may be the odd bit of poo left somewhere but I would honestly say that the streets are clean and dog owners walk their dogs in areas where they are in fields and forest where many animals are roaming in Ovacik.
I wonder what is the most strays given a home by someone British. I know someone with four.

couldnt agree more with you Lynne.
-
Have you done anything to help the situation with stray dogs in this area? Good for you if you have.
-
Must have touched a nerve with a few people on here.The fact is I have seen alot of dogs being walked and doing there business,and owners,british,waiting for them or whilst on the lead,and then walking on.Dont take this off at a tangent,forget wots going on in the mountains,this is about dogs being allowed to **** wherever,un-made,made up,does it matter,and irresponsible owners allowing it to happen.I can feel a Jim Carey coming on," alll-righty then,I have exorcised the demon"!
-
Fact is dog poo is bad and can cause kids to go blind. If your child was affected then maybe you would think differently.
Citing other animal poo is not an argument.
-
Wait till they let the horses loose,then you'll see some big dumps dotted about the place,bloody hell,can those beasts dump,mountains of it.I bet one of their dumps must be the equivalent of at least 50 dog dumps. In fact Titmeister you,ve given me a project for the coming winter months,I'me going to undertake an in depth survey upon the climatic,environmental differences between horse poo and dog poo.
For instance,does a horse dump contribute more to climate warming than a dog dump,this is a question that needs an answer,and as far as I know has never been answered,but I shall address it to the best of my ability.
So,if anybody round Ovacik in the coming winter months comes across a figure with a sack,shovel,set of scales,thermometer,you'll know its me doing my project.As all serious research projects [ sadly in my case not Government funded]must have a fancy acronym I've decided mine should be PUSS.If anybody is interested in assisting me in PUSS let me know.
To offset any expenses incurred in my research I shall be selling bags of horse poo at 10 TL a bag,buyer collects. :)
-
Good for the roses I understand!!!!!:D
Is it only dogs which are owned by the British which are a risk?? :o

If you feel in need of further research, Brother Pookie has conservation land in South Africa, I'm sure he wouldn't mind if you wished to extend the research to include Elephants..... ;)

what a waste of energy that will be. you cannot seriously believe that drivel surely?
-
just got in from taking my dog for a poo here in calis, he chose a nice overgrown grassy spot off the road so i didnt feel the need to go and root it out!
geordieboy your post gave me a giggle!! maybe you could include cat poo in the study as there are a million of them here aswell? i think also toxic to people especially pregnant women. :D

of course citing other animal/human poo is an argument! poo is poo!!! all farely nasty stuff i would say! and thank god not something i see very often here in calis unless i go looking for it!! ;)
-
Hang on, the original post was about dog owners standing by while their dog deposits a pile of excrement in a public place and fails to clear up. Cats and tortoises tend not to be on leads, they roam freely, therefore pretty unrealistic for the owners to be able to clear up after them.. It is hardly the same thing. You wouldnt be expected to clear up after your dog or tortoise in the UK either. But in the UK you WOULD be required to clear up after your dog so why not do it here too??
-
common sense really! we dont have a poo problem in calis! just the occasional bad drain smell! its difficult to compare the two countries as there is so much more free walking space/ground here, whereas in the uk most dog owners are confined to maybe 1 park area. and of course the poo inspector along with the breathing of fresh air inspector would be out of a job in uk! we have the freedom here to make sensible choices!

ROFL! that tortoise poo is a devil to remove! if my neighbours tortoise dropped a load of excrement in a public place i would ring the council!!! lol lol hehe hehe.... first time ive had a fit of giggles on here!!! hehe:D:D

Well all l can say is i'm really glad none of you dog owners live near me.
Some of your ignorance is priceless.

What energy and drivel.[?]

Went for a meal and a walk in Fethiye and Calis the other night. Where do all the dogs there come from? As you walk along from the back of the Carrefour to the farthest part of the Kordon there are dogs roaming and also near some of the Calis restaurants. They are roaming free and sometimes fighting. Are these stray dogs or are they owned by anyone?
-
I wouldn't mind betting some are owned, but given the freedom to roam.
Our adopted street dog was very appreciative of the food, but still expected her freedom. It was quite a (expensive) job to confine her. Every effort we made was met with her discovering a new way out. In the end a bee did us a favour (we think) and stung her as she forced her way through the honeysuckle. She hasn't escaped since...

i take it you ran out of plastic bags then!:D
-
no wonder so many dogs are poisened. not right but maybe one of the resons?
-
No, I don't think so. Its more likely to be out of fear of being bitten, or annoyance at their barking IMHO.

i dont think turks look at dog poo with as much vehemence as the english.that is presuming its turks doing the poisoning. its more likely to be as rindaloo said,fear and noise.
what a shame taking a serious yet humerous in part topic to just that bit below the belt there stoop.
it kind of insinuates that people not cleaning up after there dogs are somehow responsible for the uneducated lunatics who leave poison for dogs to find.:-\
-
Aargh,Geordie boy,wish you every success with your ecological field study of poo in the Ovacik area,something for you to really get your teeth into in the winter months,and be really hands on.By the way,its Tetmeister,but I can understand that living north of the watford gap,and without gas and electric,your spelling and mispronunc,misspronouneci,spelling/reading difficulties are understandable.P.S. Are horses still the main form of transport still?tats all,LOGGING out,trigger.
-
is english still the first language south of the gap?
-
No, Cockernee is the language of choice now

i did say maybe a reason and if it is then, yes, the few owners who think it is ok to let their dogs poo and not clean it up might have some responsibiliy.
-
Stoop.You'll have to change your name to Poop or Scoop. :)
-
so stoop thinks that maybe because "some" owners dont clear up after their dogs they are responsible in part for dogs getting poisoned? this would logically lead on that the belediyesi are also responsible for allowing street dogs to foul the area,, also then making themselves part responsible for the poisoning of these animals?
is it against the law here for a dog to poo on the street?
is it against the law here to deliberately feed dogs poison laced food?:-\
-
Looks like this S**t is going to run & run!
-
Is it against the law for me to **** in someones front garden ?what the hell has the law got to do with a topic that was to do with the ethics of english owners allowing their dogs to crap anywhere,and not clean it up.You need to watch "me ,myself and irene".Jasus some people come out with some crap.
