Can someone tell me why dogowners have to clean up after their dogs fouling in the street and yet on my way to work, right in the cycle lane where I have to be, is piles of horse manure for a couple of yards and right outside a school. I know that years ago, people used to rush out to shovel this up for their gardens but I dont think they do now. The school is back open today and this is going to be trampled down by cars and schookids etc, so will be there for days till its washed away and trampled into the school on kids shoes.

The horses pulling the landaus along Blackpool promenade are required to be fitted with manure traps aka dung catchers. It's one of the conditions of their licence to operate.

...mmm....When we grumble about the odd pile of horse poo and the number of cars on the roas we should thank God all those cars arn't carts with horses pulling them....consider this quote..
"Nineteenth-century cities depended on thousands of horses for their daily functioning. All transport, whether of goods or people, was drawn by horses. London in 1900 had 11,000 cabs, all horse-powered. There were also several thousand buses, each of which required 12 horses per day, a total of more than 50,000 horses. In addition, there were countless carts, drays, and wains, all working constantly to deliver the goods needed by the rapidly growing population of what was then the largest city in the world. Similar figures could be produced for any great city of the time.*
The problem of course was that all these horses produced huge amounts of manure. A horse will on average produce between 15 and 35 pounds of manure per day. Consequently, the streets of nineteenth-century cities were covered by horse manure. This in turn attracted huge numbers of flies, and the dried and ground-up manure was blown everywhere"......whoo hoo

luckily it's not so prevalent as dog poop, however i saw two policemen on horseback riding through our local shopping centre, there is an open area before you get into the middle, where the flats and shops are
As they did so one horse just let loose on the pedestrian footpath. It's not the first time i have seen this happen, quite disgusting.

It's horse poo people- at worst it's slightly inconveneint-at best it doesn't matter ay all. Horses are herbivores- unless you eat fresh horse poo there is no danger from it whatsoever healthwise ( unless you slip on it and break your neck of course. If it offends you that much scoop it up and bung it in the hedge, it's really not that big a deal:)
Horse manure doesn't present a hazard to health.
Still wondering what hazard to health, in reality as opposed to theory, dog faeces are. Toxicaria cases are rare. We are told that toxicaria is a hazard but only toxicaria ocularis, where the eye is affected, is a danger and that responds to treatment. We seemed to get on without problems before the law was made to ban leaving dog mess on pavements etc. It was, of course, always a nuisance.

NOX, it is a big deal to me. Im not paid to clean up their mess. If Im on my way to work and cleanly showered and dressed to work with food, I dont think I want to be smellling of horse poo, thank you. As Famous5 says, if they clean up after them in Blackpool, why cant it be a ruling for everywhere. Apart from which, knowing schoolkids today, they will probably start chucking it at each other and passing cars for fun
