In 1991, it was labeled a non-point source pollutant by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), placing it in the same category as herbicides and insecticides; oil, grease and toxic chemicals; and acid drainage from abandoned mines. I guess people would have no problem if while out for a walk I dropped a "load" of used motor oil on their lawn.
Campylobacter jujuni is one of the most common germs to affect humans. I am not promoting people allowing their pets to poop in anyone's yard.
