A sanitary tubular pet waste removal device includes a hollow proximal section having a handle extending from a first end thereof and a hollow distal section extending from a second end of the proximal section, the second end opposite the first end. One or both of the distal and proximal sections includes a scoop arranged to nest within the sections when not in use, and the interior of the distal section is adapted to temporarily hold and sanitarily retain fecal matter. Together, the proximal and distal sections form a bat-like structure when not in use, thereby facilitating ease of carrying by a user. The handle of the proximal section includes a separable light source arranged to illuminate the exterior of the unit, acting as a safety light, and also arranged to shine down to the ground beneath, thereby facilitating the process of locating target fecal matter.

What is claimed is: 1. A sanitary tubular pet waste removal device comprising: a proximal section having a handle extending from a first end thereof, the handle including a light source arranged to shine downward through the proximal section to illuminate the ground beneath, thereby facilitating the process of locating target fecal matter; and a distal section extending from a second end of the proximal section, the second end opposite the first end; wherein at least a portion of each of the proximal section and the distal section is hollow and wherein at least one of the proximal section and the distal section has an interior that is adapted to temporarily hold and sanitarily retain fecal matter; wherein at least one of the distal section and the proximal section includes a scoop arranged to nest within the opposing section when not in use; wherein the proximal and distal sections may be connected together to form an enclosed structure, thereby facilitating ease of carrying by a user. 2. The device of claim 1, wherein the enclosed structure is a bat-like or bottle-like structure, thereby facilitating ease of carrying by a user. 3. The device of claim 1, wherein the proximal and distal sections may be disconnected from one another and manipulated to remove fecal matter from a ground surface to the interior of the hollow section. 4. The device of claim 1, wherein the light source may be separated from the proximal section. 5. The device of claim 1, wherein the walls of the proximal and distal sections are at least partially translucent, thereby facilitating the external illumination of the walls when the light source is in use. 6. The device of claim 1, wherein the walls of the proximal and distal sections are at least partially transparent. 7. The device of claim 1, wherein the scoop is included in the distal section, and wherein the proximal section also includes a scoop adapted to be manipulated in conjunction with the scoop of the distal section to handle fecal matter. 8. A sanitary tubular pet waste removal device comprising: a hollow proximal section with opposing first and second ends; and a hollow distal section that extends from the second end of the proximal section and is completely separable and removable from the proximal section, the distal section including: an interior that is adapted to temporarily hold and sanitarily retain fecal matter, and a generally spade-shaped scoop extending outwardly away from an inner side wall of the interior of the distal section; wherein the proximal and distal section are generally contiguous with one another when the distal section is connected to the proximal section such that the scoop is offset inwardly from and nestled generally flush against an inner side wall of the proximal section when the proximal and distal sections are connected to one another; and wherein the scoop is arranged to nest fully within the proximal section when the distal section is connected to the proximal section; and wherein the proximal and distal sections may be disconnected from one another and manipulated to remove fecal matter from a ground surface to the interior of the distal section. 9. The device of claim 8, wherein the hollow proximal section includes a ring structure adapted to support the connected proximal and distal sections in a vertical hanging orientation. 10. The device of claim 8, wherein a substantial portion of each of the proximal section and the distal section is cylindrical in shape. 11. The device of claim 8, wherein the second end of the proximal section has a circular opening, and an end of the distal section, facing the proximal section when the distal section is connected to the proximal section, has a circular opening. 12. The device of claim 8, wherein a groove type twisting locking mechanism is utilized to hold the hollow proximal and distal sections together. 13. The device of claim 8, wherein the proximal section includes a generally spade-shaped scoop extending outwardly away from an interior thereof. 14. A sanitary tubular pet waste removal device comprising: a proximal section, having one or more side walls and an end wall that collectively define a first receptacle portion that is adapted to hold and sanitarily retain fecal matter, and having opposing first and second ends with a hollow, tubular portion extending therebetween, wherein the first end is closed by the end wall and includes a handle, wherein the second end is open, and wherein the hollow tubular portion is closed on all other sides by the one or more side walls; and a hollow, tubular distal section, having one or more side walls and an end wall that collectively define a second receptacle portion that is adapted to hold and sanitarily retain fecal matter, and having first and second ends with a hollow, tubular portion extending therebetween, wherein the first end is closed by the end wall, wherein the second end is open, wherein the hollow tubular portion is closed on all other sides by the one or more side walls, and wherein the distal section is completely separable and removable from the proximal section; wherein the second end of the distal section attaches at the second end of the proximal section when the distal and proximal sections are attached together; wherein the distal and proximal sections are contiguous with one another when attached together; wherein a side wall of at least one of the distal section and the proximal section includes a scoop extending therefrom and arranged to be offset from and nestled flush against an inner side wall of the opposing section when the distal section is connected to the proximal section; and wherein the proximal and distal sections may be disconnected from one another and manipulated to remove fecal matter from a ground surface to the interior of the distal section. 15. The device of claim 14, wherein the hollow proximal section includes a ring structure adapted to support the connected proximal and distal sections in a vertical hanging orientation. 16. The device of claim 14, wherein a substantial portion of each of the proximal section and the distal section is cylindrical in shape. 17. The device of claim 14, wherein the second end of the proximal section has a circular opening, and the second end of the distal section, facing the proximal section when the distal section is connected to the proximal section, has a circular opening. 18. The device of claim 14, wherein the scoop is spade-shaped. 19. The device of claim 14, wherein a groove type twisting locking mechanism is utilized to hold the hollow proximal and distal sections together.
