There’s a lot of bad shit in our poop that isn’t in most wild animal shit.
Particularly transmissible diseases for other humans.

Also were visitors.
At least in major watersheds the primary reason for picking up dog poop is because of the insane nitrogen content of the insane amounts of dog poop that’s generated.

You are supposed to cover the hole with a relatively heavy rock to deter animals from digging it back up.
