Human waste will pass human diseases to humans which makes human waste
more toxic to humans.  That is why we use raw animal waste as fertilizer 
(like... for our vegetables) and not raw human waste.  The problem also
comes from concentration in popular spots.

Also, animals don't wipe their rearends with t-paper which isn't all 
easily biodegradeable 8-)
