    I know this isn't a issue that is usually brought up, but this also happens in my town and frankly it ticks me off.

    I live fifteen minutes from the beach, and every morning about fifty to a hundred dogs are on the beach during the summer until nine am and back at five pm. They're allowed off the leash if voice controlled, but there's little to no enforcement.

    The biggest problem is that no owners clean up after their dogs. None. It is not as bad as a park, granted because of the fact the tides come in every 12 hours. But it still is massively disgusting and kids walk around barefoot on the beach also. There's also a part of the beach that's private that got so bad the owners of the hotel threatened to close off their part of the beach to the public another way other than lifeguards.

    There's also issues with this, dogs going after little kids, dogs attacking people who are walking, dogs getting into fights and attacking each other. But that's for another issue, there's more people enforcing it, but it's still pretty bad to the point where my mom doesn't like me even walking barefoot on the beach anymore because of how dirty it can get.

    Thoughts?

    That's pretty gross. People need to have some consideration for others, that's the real problem here.

    This wouldn't have happen if the pet owners act actually responsible and pick up their pet's mess. At least be considerate to other people!
