Soi dogs with manners? "Mystery" of the lack of poop on the streets.

maybe the responsible is simply the dung beetle :

I was saw a stray dog poop in a busy BBK soi with a lot of footfall and it was only a matter of time before someone stepped in it.
Suddenly one Thai passer-by saw it, tutted and picked it up in some old newspaper and put it in a bin, then carried on his way.
Maybe it was an act of merit-making?

My housing estate has plenty of dog poop on its streets if you want some. PM to tell me where to send it.

The light probably had nothing to do with it. He was watching the behaviour of the people around him. Dogs are, after all, pack animals. When the pack, waited, he waited, when the pack crossed the road, so did he. Smart cookie.

I am moving this topic to Pub in order to get more input on this important subject

I asked my gf the question and she said that soi dogs will go and do their business elsewhere.
At her mothers house she has 5 dogs who all go off into the woods for a " number 2 " !!

You,ve all been given the answer numerous times.

If a dog poops where other dogs walk, the other dogs will eat it,

I am amazed. This is common knowledge:

- The Farangs, cleaning the beaches during daytime (because the Thai's won't do it), are also pulling a night shift, going after poo between 3 to 5 AM. Well organized, no soi is left out. The "harvest" is sold to local Garden Centers. Later sold as fertilizer under the brand name of "Turbo Dogie Plant Growth Enhancer". (TDPGE).

Per weight unit, far more lucrative than collecting empty plastic bottles.

I really thought this was common knowledge. You guys should go out more often between 3 to 5 AM.
Cheers.

Is it due to the lack of pavements (sidewalks) and football pitches here? In the U.K. a dog will only shit on a pavement or football pitch.

Ants and other, further down the 'pecking order' hungrier dogs, are the cleanup merchants.

Low protein doggie diet here in Thailand also helps contribute to quick decompostition.

A truly fascinating topic! Have been wondering the same.
