• WHY HAVE ANIMALS GOT TO FORFIT THEIR LIVES BECAUSE OF US? YES, US LASY HUMANS THAT CANT EVEN BE BOTHERED TO PUT OUR OWN RUBBISH IN A BIN ARE DESTORYING THE HOMES OF INNOCENT ANIMALS.

• IF YOU ARE CAUGHT YOU COULD GET FINED. SO IF YOU WANT A 17,000 POUND FINE CARRY ON KILLING ANINMALS.

Why people litter:• They can’t be bothered or are too lazy to find a bin • They have no sense of pride in their community • There is a lack of education / poor parenting of young people • If an area is already dirty, why bother to look for a bin? • It’s not cool to use a bin • Litter keeps someone in a job • People aren’t aware that some items are litter e.g food, cigarette ends, chewing gum • It’s OK to litter if no one can see you! • It’s OK to litter if you are drunk! • There aren’t enough bins • The bins are in the wrong place • The bins aren’t emptied often enough • The bins aren’t big enough • The bins are not suitable for disposing of dog mess or cigarette ends • The bins are dirty • There aren’t enough fines for littering • One person can’t make a difference • It’s rebellious and anti-authoritarian to litter (is it?) • Fast food outlets don’t care about the litter associated with them
