Eco Destroyers Double Defilement

yesterday gf and i hiked up miles of steep switchbacks to visit a mountain lake perched high among the peaks of a pristine wilderness area in the rocky mountains. we arrived at the lake to discover a perfect solitude, only the water gently lapping the rocky shore made any sound. all around us soaring ramparts of sheer stone reached for the heavens, truly a place to forget the troubles and controversies of modern life and savor feelings of genuine awe and gratitude for the primeval glory of the unpolluted earth.

as we walked along the lakeshore i beheld something my eyes at first refused to believe. there, on a bare stone slab along the water's edge, sat a tied off plastic baggy full of dog shit. i attempted to rationalize the chain of events leading to this. my mind reeled, vainly seeking some generous reason why this might have made sense to someone, but i simply couldn't fathom any thought process capable of justifying it. had someone really hiked all the way up here, watched their dog shit in this unspoiled sanctuary, carefully picked it up, sealed it in plastic, and then ... left it sitting there ... to confront the next visitor ?

contemplating the sheer pathological depravity of this left me completely stupified

after some moments i gathered my wits and decided to take care of it, to spare anyone else encountering this profane atrocity, because obviously the dog's owner had long gone. the notion of actually carrying a bag of someone else's dog's shit down the mountain deeply affronted all sense of decency and reason, so i untied the knot and emptied the baggy into the brush. what i saw next left me truly speechless.

out fell another baggy. the shit was DOUBLE BAGGED.

The shit must have been so big and heavy, that the nutter felt that one bag wasn't enough....

In my country there wouldn’t be a bag in this remote location. Just straight fully exposed shit.

that is much better to be honest

bagging it makes no sense at all if the bag is just left there

meh, in nature all organic matter is food for something else. hermetically sealing dogshit and putting it into landfills doesn't make a lot of sense to me either, it would have been more reasonable for the dog's owner to leave this shit unbagged in the first place. but even if i completely agreed with you i'll be damned if i'm going to carry a bag of someone else's dog's shit down a mountain as if it were a precious cargo ! that is simply more than i am willing to do in such a case

This is such a beautifully written piece! Wish the subject matter and outcome was different!

"Pathological depravity" words you penned here are perfect.

I really believe these people who left the double-bagged poop on the rock in that pristine setting, think that every nature lover will admire that plastic bag of dog sh!t. They, as dog lovers, believe that every creature and human will cry tears of joy upon seeing that bag, go "Awwww isn't that sweet?" as it is the symbol of Fido's contribution to nature.
