Why oh dear! I didn't ask for your personal viewpoint, I asked for
identification of poo to ensure it did not pose a health risk to my
grandson.

I have now had the poo identified and it is, accordingly to the
gamekeeper, fox.

Oh dear... I knew modern parents were mimsy about the great outdoors and
their children, but I'd have thought a grandparent would have a greater
sense of proportion on these matters.

Hedgehogs eat slugs and snails and all manner of other larvae and insects,
they are very good news in a garden and should be encouraged.

I sometimes wonder why people don't consider the _mental_ health risks they
impose on children, with their paranoia and hysterical phobias.

Try Googling and see how many children are hospitalised by hedgehog/fox poo
per annum, why don't you? MRSA is a much more serious threat, and more
prevalent in hospitals than back lawns.

Like someone said, "rake it up".
