The mystery of the magically appearing poop bags

Why is it necessary for people to pick up their dogs poop in a green, pink or black poop bag and then place the filled bag where the poop originally lay? Sometimes they hang it on gates, fences or trees? Do these people think a team of magical poop fairies are going to come out at night and collect it? Surely the poop would degrade quicker if was just left alone, rather than placing it in a bag to degrade a lot slower! I think it would be a good idea to maybe add a few more bins around the south downs national park or perhaps bigger signs to educate people how to pick their dogs poop up and dispose of it correctly. Sorry to go on about this just after 09.00am in the morning but it really gets on my nerves seeing black, pink and green poop bags littering the fields, trees and fences around the south downs national park, landport bottom and black cap.

But please feel free to bag it up when your dog poops on my front lawn.
Leaving it nicely packed up in a bag is infinitely better than scraping it up.
Many thanks.

Amber I agree to picking up the poop but surely picking it up and putting in a bin is environmentally more friendly than just leaving plastic bags laying around, although biodegradable it is still not right for someone else to do their dirty work. You own the dog you should know how to clean up correctly after it. It is disgusting that people allow their dogs to poop on someone elses garden and they should be ashamed of themselves.

Amber, I would guess that an owner allowing a dog to poop on someone else's land might be trespass. If you catch them, shout "I'll sue you". They might only move to your next door neighbour's garden though.

I have a double barrelled Nerf water gun and my camera poised and I can shout LOUDLY, if only I could catch them.
Different poops so different dogs.
Some have gut problems unfortunately.
Can they at least bag it up?
I have to dispose of this disgusting muck.
