Why all the bother.  All the rest of nature leave the the feces out in
the open air.  Somewhere along the way we decided to polute our water
with waste (something that most creatures don't do) and we also
decided seal off all biodegradable material in our landfills making it
impossible to degrade.  Something needs to be done about both.
