Editorial...
Poop power
|
Welcome Spring. We are very fortunate to have so many beautiful placing to explore – the Orono Crown Lands, Waterfront Trail, Samuel Wilmot Nature Area, to name a few. As a gentle reminder…we are all stewards of these lands.
So, what’s with hanging dog filled poop bags from the trees? On fences? Thrown in the bushes? It’s simple – your dog poops you pick it up, if there isn’t a garbage bin for disposal, you take it home. |
Dogs can harbor lots of viruses, bacteria and parasites — including harmful pathogens like e coli, giardia and salmonella. Studies have traced 20 to 30 percent of the bacteria in water samples from urban watersheds to dog waste. Pet poop that is left in yards, fields, parks and on sidewalks eventually ends up in rivers, lakes and other bodies of water. It is carried there by spring run-off and heavy rainfalls, either directly or via storm sewers.
