Beaches and Dogs

Doha Daisy
By Doha Daisy

The beaches in Qatar are really beautiful and since I have been here see so many people enjoying them. It is great to go to the beach and cool off.

We went to Al Wakrah beach on Friday and had a great swim. My only upset was seeing dog poo on the beach. I am an animal lover and on previous occassions have enjoyed seeing dogs having a good time and cooling off in the water. This week there were no dogs on the beach when we arrived, but there were dog poos on the beach!!!

Please dog owners, enjoy taking your animals for a run and a swim on the beach, but be aware when they are leaving poos on the beach and pick them up so that we ALL can enjoy the beach.

People at Wahkra seem to believe that what the tide takes away never existed, that includes all the fast food paper/plastic trash, condoms, and, wait for it, dog sh!t.

If you brought it with you pick it up and dispose of it in the receptacles provided (and they are provided at the beach).

i don't have a dog here and i've never taken any of my dogs back home to the beach, but doesn't sand make dog poo dry up easily and decompose more naturally? correct me if i'm wrong, but i personally believe having the dog poop in a secluded beach area not frequented by people and burying it properly is better than having to put it in non-biodegradable plastic for further disposal in the trash bin.

whenever we have sand available back home we cover up dog poo in our yard with sand to get rid of the smell right away and make it dry up. it will then be easier to clean it up to bury it in the soil. our garbage collectors complain and sometimes refuse to take our garbage bags if they smell dog poo in them.

Are you sure it's dog poo? I remember seeing plenty of soiled nappies on the beach too...

soo i was wondering what smell that is which is coming out of the QL window & to see Doha Daisy has had a poo-swim!

ROFL! just pulling ur leg & im kidding!

Doha Daisy - u are right...every pet owner is responsible for their dog or cat or what ever they adopt & we must make it a practice not to be a burden to any one!

Agree with you and Mike, however also agree with Tiga...

Wakrah beach is a known dumping ground for people abandoning their dogs, knowing that many animal lovers go there, and they hope someone will pick the dog up....

Good thread Doha Daisy, I'm a dog owner and I totally agree with your statement. People should always carry mini plastic bags so they can pick up their dog's dookies, wherever they go.
