Clean-up after your dog

This has bothered me for a while now and I feel that something should be done about it. First, let me ask you one question - would you take your dog to potty on your family's grave stones? I would hope everyone would answer no.

I pass the Camden Cemetery almost every day. All of my family are buried here; my Mother and Father, my sister, my uncles and cousins, a lot of the people who I love are resting there.

Almost every time I drive by there is someone walking their dog, letting them relieve themselves on someone's stone. I think this is very disrespectable and in poor taste. I know there is no law that tells you not to do this but don't you even feel somewhat bad for allowing your dog to do this? You have your own yard for that.

Think about this the next time you go to a cemetery - you walk up to your mother's grave stone and find a pile of dog waste. Now isn't that a lovely gift for someone to leave. I feel there should be a law against this. Does anyone else agree?
