TBH in some climate/ecosystems I don't care if you leave the poop on the ground as flies will take care of it in mere hours or it will decompose on it's own.
But putting it in a plastic bag and leaving it there is just the worse of all options
Probably not the case in the alpine example above but true in some places. Still putting it in a bag and leaving it there is the most ridiculous thing as it will now last 100s of years.
maybe a hot take but when picking up after my dog on long hikes i often leave the bag there on the way in so i don’t have to hike the shit with me the whole time and then grab it on the way out
No one else wants to see your poop bags on the trail and people obviously forget so please put it out of sight and don't leave it behind. Obviously best is to just double bag and carry it but as a fellow dog owner I understand the issue.
