Sunday was a great day to be at the Mount. The sun was shining, the sea was calm, there were lots of parents with their young children playing on the beach - and then there were the dog owners on the beach with their damn dogs allowing them dogs to poo all over the sand.

The inconsiderate, ignorant owners just watch their dog doo on the sand and just walk on doing nothing to clean it up, as they are required to do.

Okay, there will be dog owners reading this getting all bent out of shape, saying: 'I clean up after my dog” and 'not all owners are like this” and maybe this is correct but from what I saw and those that were with me on Sunday the majority of owners are not.

I wonder what their backyards are like?

Well I'm sure they are nice and clean, as they bring their dogs to use the beach as a toilet.

Its disgusting. You dog owners that allow this are disgusting. Do the right thing for all the other users of the beach - clean up your dog's mess.
