<div><p>Steven Heard picks up 50 bags of dog poop a day. And no, it's not from his dog. </p><p>The dad-of-four had to start cleaning up other people's dog poop after it kept getting stuck in the wheels of his mobility scooter. </p><p>Steven, who suffers from diabetes and deafness, has started leaving notes on trash bins and spray painting the side walks where people are leaving their dog poop in an attempt to shame those who don't pick up after their pets. </p><div><figure><a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/dog-poo-vigilante-who-picks-10032122" target="_blank"><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/PAY-SWNS_DOG_POO_04.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/PAY-SWNS_DOG_POO_04_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img></a><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite><a href="http://www.mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/dog-poo-vigilante-who-picks-10032122" target="_blank">Mirror UK</a></cite></figcaption></figure></div><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/PAY-SWNS_DOG_POO_08.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/PAY-SWNS_DOG_POO_08_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Mirror UK</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>Now, three years after this all started, Steven has been hit with an "acceptable behavior contract" from the city council. </p><p> "It makes no sense - I do all their dirty work for free and go to meetings, but they made me sign up to this ABC," Steven says. "They say they don't have the funding to clear it all up and then they do this. I don't do it because I enjoy it, I do it for the people of Minehead."</p><p>But Steven's vigilante practices aren't always appreciated by others. One piece of hate mail read, "If you can't walk Steven Heard then how the f**<strong>* </strong>can you pick up your f*****g dog poo?''.</p><div><figure><amp-img src="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/PAY-SWNS_DOG_POO_01.jpg" srcset="https://www.shared.com/content/images/2017/04/PAY-SWNS_DOG_POO_01_GH_content_550px.jpg 550w" sizes="89vw" title="" alt="" height="9" width="16" layout="responsive"></amp-img><figcaption class="op-vertical-center"><cite>Mirror UK</cite></figcaption></figure></div><p><!-- [invalid-shortcode] --></p><p>Steven's ABC states, he cannot "interfere in any with the council's operation to target dog fouling in the Minehead area.
