I saw another bag of dog shit walking the trail today. Seems silly to pick up your dog’s shit and then leave it in a little bag along the way.

I don’t like pets. While I’m all for raising livestock for meat, milk, eggs or even manure to fertilize the soil, I’ve always seen owning a dog or cat to be rather deprived. I can’t imagine having to scoop up and carry a bag of dog shit around town. Dogs and cats are omnivores and their poop is loaded with pathogens. If you need a friend maybe you should join a community organization or try online dating rather than subjectating a domestic animal.

Pet ownership is gross in my book. Livestock is fine in a barnyard, I have no problem tying a dog on a chain in a barn to keep away predators or a barn cat to control mice. But in the house, just yuck. Especially with my allergies. Maybe a dog is fine for hunting and duck retrieval but I can’t see being such an empty person that needs a dog for companionship.
