I have a strange feeling you’ve confused me for a cat person since you keep doing a comparison with cats? To me, cats are worse, and you’re right. Dogs shit in the street, cats shit all over your garden. I’ve seen dogs chase after and rag a baby deer to death, cats DECIMATE the local wildlife population. Birds, bye, frogs, bye, mice, bye, hedgehogs don’t come round when your neighbourhood is full of these things, I’ve seen one kill a butterfly for gods sake, anything that moves!

And, yes, it’s all obviously on the owners and I can only guess that these people are selfish or just don’t really think about anything they’re doing. This is your classic general public behaviour. Buy an electric car, take out your recycling, and sign a petition online about the Orangoutangs in Borneo. Then buy a cat and drive to the shops that’s a ten minute walk down the road whilst drinking a can of Coke. Zero thinking.
