Picture of the Day - Dog Poop Apocalypse

Whoever actually believes what this idiotic sign states really ought to have their head examined. I spotted it today while hiking on Pine Mountain in Atascadero, CA. Every other type animal that traipses over Pine Mountain (and they are both more numerous and walk on ALL parts of it, not merely the trails, and include both wild animals and domestic) such as deer, coyotes, bobcats, foxes, domestic cats, et al, all poop in Pine Mountain. There have been no children sickened by such poops since records were first kept. The poop from those animals hasn't degraded Atascadero which needs no help from poop in order to be degraded. Successive sucktaceous city councils are more potent than poop at degrading a place. One can only imagine the poops on Pine Mountain when Pleistocene megafauna were traipsing over Pine Mountain right up into the early part of the Holocene about 10,000 years ago. Worry-warts, pollyannas, and hypochondriacs should not be tasked with composing city signage. Photo by Kim Patrick Noyes (all rights reserved).
