Why not use human excrement instead?


"The use of untreated human feces in agriculture poses significant health risks and has contributed to widespread infection with parasitic worms—a disease called helminthiasis, affecting over 1.5 billion people in developing countries."

It's the same for using animal feces. There are ways to mitigate risk.

you don't have to consume the animals that contribute the the cycling of a healthy ecosystem...

frame it as you like, but eating meat is literally only necessary because people want to.
