Pick up the poop

Dear Editor:

RE: ‘You can do better,’ Feb. 29.

In response to letters to the editor about people not picking up after their dogs ...

Unfortunately not everyone picks up and here, on and near the pathway from Bellamy Cres. to Gzowski St., we have, I suspect, the same person who picks up after their dog, and then tosses the bags into the area near the marsh/pond.

There are now about 10 blue baggies scattered throughout the shrubs and trees. The logic of picking up and then tossing baffles me. The bags are not biodegradable and the proximity to the pond where birds nest is mere feet.

Hopefully the person who is doing this will realize how detrimental it is to the pond (and illegal to intentionally toss refuse) and dispose of it properly.

Karen Watson,
