Dog Waste lining up at Wyoming Forest Trails

JACKSON, Wyo. (AP) — A smelly problem is piling at trails around Jackson where people go hiking and cross-country skiing with their dogs. How big is this problem? Bridger-Teton National Forest officials say they recently counted 173 piles of dog waste around just one trailhead.

The problem is so bad, it's contributing to elevated bacteria levels in nearby streams.


District Ranger Dale Deiter said the situation is "not acceptable." He's promising to step up enforcement so people clean up their dogs' acts.

People just won't pick up after their pets. They are out in the wild blue yonder and don't feel it's necessary. I see them do this all the time at our marina. Terrible not to pick up after your pets.

Have a terrific day. :)

Sandee happy to hear from y best Dogcents friend. I agree with you its terrible not to pick up after your pets and there is no reason why with all these free Poop bags you can get on those freebie blogs. I see them all the time and I send off for them after all they are free and I always need Poop bags with a scooper to keep handy with so many dogs. Smile. I hope othrs who read this will take our dvice. Thaks for your comment..Hugs lilyruth
