LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Pick up after your pooch, please!

Opinion-Letters-Dog-Poop-Pick-Up-031121
A letter writer requests some more common sense from fellow Whistler dog owners.

I have been going for walks with my dog from the end of Lorimer Road to Rainbow, or else along the edge of the Whistler Golf Club course. 

Every time we go for a walk, we see at least three to five bags of dog poop that has been bagged and then left lying on the ground. 

This is a huge problem for me as my young pup insists on swallowing bags that she finds. 

I know that part is my problem, but I just don’t get why people would bother to pick up after their dogs and then leave the bag lying on the ground. All they are doing is adding more plastic to the environment. Not cool!

Please remember that the second step of picking up after your dog is depositing the bag in the garbage!
