I applaud you for that action, but you can see how the lazy itinerants give the true gypsy families bad press can't you?
And that is where the prejudice grows from....we all want to live in places that are clean and tidy, and to discourage vermin from our homes and yet the people who leave their litter that encourages rats and such have no conscience about what they are doing to the local environment.......and when they have made a mess they scoot off to do the same somewhere else.
It looks bad, it looks like the locals don't care about where they live. When in actuality, it isn't they who have littered the place.
