Editor,

Oh my gosh, really? Horse manure is natural and a healthy fertilizer composed of grains, grasses and water. There is nothing harmful about it. It is very good for the trees and fauna. This seems especially petty to me.

I find that many dog walkers do have poop bags and many may use them, others don’t and yet others will use them and then set them on stumps, the ground along the trails, in parking lots or toss them in the woods.

Dog poop is not manure suitable for fertilizer like horse manure is. Fertilizing the trees and fauna is a good thing and very good for our environment.
