Churchtown Farm Community Nature Reserve managed by Cornwall Wildlife Trust and Friends of Churchtown Farm is a real gem in Saltash for locals and tourists alike but the actions of a minority are making the management of this important community

I love visiting Cornwall, it's a beautiful area. I would never dream of leaving the mess from my dog around to ruin this great place for others!
How thoughtless of these few people to be so lazy!! They give other dog owners a bad name !!!
Thanks Cher.

So true! It doesn't matter where a dog owner walks dogs, nor does it matter the size of the dogs, every human is responsible for picking up the feces. Not only does it look horrid and give 'dogs' a bad name, it is unhealthy for orther dogs due to the parasite transference, etc. Obviously feces is unsanitary to humans! My husband and I have two indoor Golden Retrievers we walk 6+ times each day in our neighborhood and on the River Walks Park area and we ALWAYS clean up the 'mess' immediately, even in our own back yard!
In addition, while dog walking I always bring an extra trash bag to pick up all the litter other humans thoughtlessly discard...

It's not the dogs' fault but the owners.Fine the owners and then 'sense and sensibilities' will stop this lack of consideration.
