Ruining our world

Went to Slater Park three times this week. Yesterday we saw a beautiful egret. We also saw a large frog that I moved across the trail so she wouldn't get run over by a bike. A couple of days ago I saw a flock of ducks flying along the little river to land in the very low water. The swans also look gigantic.

A couple of years ago I saw a young beaver terrified and trying to get back in the river but the fence was messing him up. The water level is unbelievably low right now. I haven't seen anything like this in 12 years.

What I really wanted to talk about is the pollution collected along the giant tree down across the river. This trail is only 2.25 miles long. There are garbage cans at the beginning and the end. There are also a bunch of cans 1/3 along the way - which is less than an 1/8 mile from the collection of garbage. So, along a 1/3 mile of trail/river there are about 10 garbage cans available but lazy people that don't deserve this world at all just throw their Duncan Donuts plastic cups and other garbage in the river. There was a spray can of some poison there as well.

Then there's the other idiots with dogs that don't pick up the shit. If you walk a dog you should own bags to pick up their dropping. But at Slater they provide bags for you if you've forgotten! Imagine that! But these less than idiot brained assh.... just leave the shit there to pollute the water, get on the shoes of others, and worse yet - make it so responsible dog owners either get blamed or will eventually not have use of the park. People like these are ruining our world and don't deserve it.
