How's this for a hollow tree? The tree stump has sprouted new growth on one part of its body and the other part is nothing but a hollow tube of bark.

Shameful It's all very well having to place your dog's droppings in a plastic bag, but at least it's bio-degradable, stepped-on or not.  The whole point surely is so that the responsible owner disposes of both items responsibly without getting their hands dirty.

I don't suppose the perpetrator would ever contemplate taking the offending articles home and disposing of them in their own back yard.
