Aren't there any people on the net who grew up on a farm?

I grew up in South Dakota, yet not on a farm, and even I know
that the only fecal matter that's suitable for fertilizing
is manure from herbivores (animals that only eat plants/grass).
Carnivore (animals that eat meat) feces is not good for anything.

This is why cow/sheep/goat (herbivores) manure is used to fertilize
gardens and lawns, and dog/cat (carnivores) poop causes brown rings and
dead spots on your lawn.

'FLAME'
The original question was yet another example of lazy people posting 
a question to the net when they could look it up somewhere, quicker 
and more cheaply than using the net.  The person who said cat poop 
was ok as fertilizer if you let it 'age' long enough, is another 
example of people posting things to the net with an air of knowing 
when they have no idea what they're talking about, they 'heard it
somewhere'.  Let's not diminish the integrity of the net with careless
and thoughtless postings.  

Sorry for the flame on what is usually a very 'clean' newsgroup, 
but I had to get in my 2 cents worth.
