Is the implication here that its annoying to expect pet owners to be responsible for waste they leave behind?

MODERATORS
I think you're ascribing a moralistic principle to a comic that is intended more for shock value than anything else.
There is no lesson to be had here, and searching for one will only lead to madness.
I’m ready for the madness. I want it to wash over me and cleanse me from our perceived reality.
Are you, too, as mad as hell, and you're not going to take this anymore?
I assume that's going too deep into artist motivation but you never know, they do make comics and those people can't be trusted.
I live in an urban area and everyone hates this one guy who just moved into the area. He never picks up the poop, neighbors are all pissed writing his landlord and everything.
There's only one tiny patch of grass on the edge of the parking lot and it's completely covered by his dogs poop. The poop doesn't go anywhere and just piles up and now the other people with dogs have no grass to use.
Something is going to push someone over the edge. That's an untenable scenario.
The implication was that the absurd comic is meant to evoke arguing in the comments
it doesn’t seem likes it’s been very effective at that so far. anyone up for an argument in the comments?
I saw you at the grocery store and you didn't put your cart away
oh yeah? well i saw you stick your gum under the table in a restaurant
The waitress saw me do it.
When I walked out of the restaurant, I told her "my name is affiliate@lemmy.world and you can go fuck yourself"
So you should probably avoid red lobster for a while
that waitress was my sister and she knows me better than that. they got your name from the card you used and put you on red lobsters most wanted list. you might want to lay low for a while.
I live on this shit and will not stop until I'm caught or killed.
I will consume as many cheddar biscuits as I can
There's at least one in my neighborhood, I think more, that have left piles in my yard. I need to set up a camera so I can rehydrate and aggressively return to the sender's front door.
nah, don't film strangers in public
I'm not the person you replied to, but:
If they're on my property - which they are of their dog is taking a shit on my lawn - they're not "in public."
My yard is not public.
Do you have a fence or trespassing signs?
I have a sidewalk that clearly delineates my yard and the sidewalk. Also, I have to maintain the sidewalk, so I'll record that all I want to. Don't want the possibility of being recorded on someone's security camera? Don't walk in front of people's houses. Welcome to 2024.
Laws in the US are weird
There's no law backing up what they're saying, it's just considered common courtesy to pick up your dog's poop if it poops in someone else's yard.
nah in the EU it's illegal to film sidewalks
You were talking about the US.
That appears to be a gray area depending where in the EU. If there is signage, the sidewalk is not the primary focus of the video, and the video is not shared, it sounds like it is in legal in a lot of places. Other appear to be more strict. Doorbell cameras appear to widely accepted, for example.
Likely, if I were to ever get around to getting a camera, I'd set motion zones on my property line and record when triggered.
If you walk away with a hand full of dog shit, you did not win at whatever you were doing.
A man like this can't be stopped
