[edinburgh] war on dog doos

You all know the sterling Freedom and Whisky of course but I only discovered it yesterday and immediately was referred to Ewan Aitkens who had written this: I cannot understand why people let their dog’s foul not just pavements but football pitches, parks, verges, playgrounds and all the rest of it. It is a despicable, disgusting disrespectful action and I despise it and those who don’t clean up after their dogs. It’s like letting some one defecate in their front room. Public space is shared space and to ruin it like that is simply unacceptable. It’s about the most anti-social act I come across…It is individualism in the extreme. You’d have to agree with him, wouldn’t you think?
