Dirty Dogs Campaign: More letters
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.I am a wheelchair user. Those who have experienced dog shit on their shoes can only imagine my emotions when I get a 'pancake on my palm', as the stuff is transferred from the tyre to the hubs and spokes and then on to my clothes and fingers. Any suggestions on how to get it out of the wheel tread would be welcome. Unlike pedestrians who can take off their shoes, this option is not open to me - David Burdus, Newcastle upon Tyne
If the Queen could be photographed tidying up after her corgis and there were a new OBE - Ordure Banished Efficiently - there might be some hope - E Clarke, London W11
I very rarely go out on my bike because if I run over shit in the park I need to put plastic bags over the wheels when I bring it back. It is hard work. I think dog fouling should really stop - Andy Naidu, age 11
If some way could be found to turn canine faeces into a profitable commodity (like fertilizer or fuel), they would soon become far too valuable to be left lying around in public
V Dobson, Preston
