Dog's poop everywhere


One of the things I can't stand in the part of Queens where I live is dog's poop that is literally everywhere. My observation gives me a conclusion that mainly Latinos, who are residents of that particular part of Ridgewood bordering Brooklyn at Cypress Ave., do not clean after their dogs. Try to omit stepping into a poop while heading north from Wyckoff Ave. on De Kalb and then Stockholm. Sometimes it requires extra skills to avoid spoiling your footwear and your mood.
On various occassions did I see how fancy looking old ladies are carrying newspaper or plastic bags to clean after their pooch in Manhattan or other parts of Queens.
It is not the case in Ridgewood, where dog owners just don't care unless it is their own driveway or piece of sidewalk in front of their home. Large dogs are being walked on part of the Stockholm St. close to St. Aloysius church where the pet can shit freely and is not bothered by anyone. Like it is nobody's property... I just can stand it. What if I made a poop under your window? How would you feel?
I wish there would be more sanitation officers patroling the area and handing out tickets to those 'dog loving' guys. A ticket or two would be a good lesson once and for all.
