Many in Idaho have neighbors they deal with every day, unless they live far out in the country and are lucky enough not to have anyone right next door. For those who live in town, neighbors can be a good or a bad thing. Sometimes you get a neighbor that helps, is friendly, and becomes a part of the family, and other times you have a neighbor you avoid, wish would move, and want nothing to do with. There is one thing that many neighbors in the state of Idaho do that is rude, careless, and disrespectful.

There are many pet owners in Idaho, and these pets like to get out and go for walks, or perhaps you own an animal like a cat that roams the neighborhood. These animals will go to the bathroom on walks or when roaming, and from time to time, it is understandable if some of these bathroom breaks are left behind in the yard, but when it happens frequently or is a messy one, it is rude to leave it, especially in someone's yard, on the sidewalk, or in their driveway. Far too many neighbors in Idaho are leaving behind these special gifts from their pets, and it can cause tension in the neighborhood, which is rude and disrespectful. It isn't hard to clean up after yourself. 

Animal Poop Left Behind in Idaho Town

Recently, a large animal went through an Idaho town, leaving droppings, and not one or two but leaving an entire trail through town on the sidewalks, making it tough to walk, run, or ride a bike through the area. Nobody picked it up, nobody claimed it as theirs, and it has left a bad smell behind for residents to deal with. It was likely a horse, perhaps a cow, or even a variety of animals, but their trail was left up and down the sidewalks of Buhl over the weekend of September 20 and September 21. It is unacceptable to leave these types of gifts behind, especially when they are that large, there is that much of it, and clearly the animal had an upset stomach. This makes residents upset and is a bad look for the town when it is spread throughout such a wide area, and the main area of the town.

Be a good neighbor and make sure that if your horse, cow, dog, cat, or any animal you have outside of your home does their business in someone's yard, on the sidewalk, or anywhere in town, make sure to clean it up. It is your responsibility, and you can make a lot of your neighbors dislike you if you don't do what you should.
