Germaine Greer dislikes dog poo almost as much as we dislike the phrase "dog poo"

Outspoken Australian feminist Germaine Greer has launched a stinging attack on domestic dogs, blaming them for the ruination of a protected perennial flower, the English bluebell.

Addressing Britain’s Hay Festival on Thursday, the 72-year-old Melbourne-born academic who owns a patch of land covered in the plant that flowers in spring, pointed the finger at toxic dog poo for the plant’s scarcity.

”If you love your bluebells, kill your dog,” said Greer dramatically…

Overdramatically, actually.

Toxic dog poo. Watch out, Rachel Carson. Here comes Germaine Greer with a new book called “Silent but Deadly Spring.”
