Wombat and Bono exercising their pet human Geraldine Lockyer. The boys always make sure they have a good supply of poo bags just in case they should get caught short. Council has begun giving away 500 of the yellow pouches, which can be tied to a dog leash. The bags are available free from Council’s head office in Mullumbimby. Council’s rangers will also hand out pouches to dog walkers during their shifts, and pouches have been given to the Brunswick Area Responsible Canine Owners (BARCO) and Companion Animals Welfare Inc.
I hope those portaloos aren’t made of plastic! That would be sheer hypocrisy coming from a hippy-run council trying to ban plastic bags from supermarkets.
The good old plastic bag has too many uses to list here, but it’s significant that South Australians are now lobbying the GOvt. to bring them back.
Great idea… however last week I collected 3 unwanted plastic bags full of dog poo tied to either a branch or fence whilst walking along the beach.
Question to be raised, why is there no bins provided in areas where dogs are given ‘dog leash free’ access and why aren’t the dog handlers responsible enough to dispose of properly?
