dog poo is very toxic in runoff into waterways. this is actually a really good idea for a law, but enforcement is difficult.

I know plenty of people who don’t clean up after thier dogs and don’t have a single problem with the (non-exsistant) consquences.

Dog waste is a serious hazard to humans and the environment. Please do a search on the internet to learn more about the serious consequences of dog fecal contamination in our air, water, and soil. Not only is dog waste a serious environmental pollutant, it is just plain inconsiderate to not pick up after your pet. Everyone deserves to take a walk without smelling or stepping in a pile of dog waste!
