Bull shit is the same as cow dung, they are large pats around 300-400 mm in diameter. Farmers use cow shit as fertilizer, spraying it onto fields to help the grass grow. The cows then eat the grass and produce milk and beef. It is an example of a circular economy. A very smelly agricultural practice, but then what would be do without our dairy produce and steaks, or beefburgers.
WHAT'S IN A NAME?
All animals need to defecate to rid their bodies of toxic waste from the metabolic process. Bulls and cows (cattle), eat a lot of grass and other vegetation, such that the volume of waste generated far exceeds that of humans, a major source of methane and a climate change factor of some concern. This means that their evacuations are significantly larger than humans. Imagine the size of elephant droppings.
"Bullshit" is also a slang term meaning lying about something, exaggerating or simply making a significant mistake about facts, that another listener or an audience find hard to accept. Another name meaning the same is Horseshit.
Human shit is known by many other names, but it all means the same. Shit is also known as Crap, after Thomas Crapper and Excrement, Faeces and Stools.
The invention of convenient porcelain pots that carry dumps and urine away, was a major advance in civilization.
Horse shit is highly regarded as manure. Gardeners love it for their roses. So do flies. There is not enough of it to use as fertilizer for fields to graze cattle. When it comes to muck spreading, the agricultural community prefer cow's shit, where there is volume. Dairy farmers rake it up in the milking stalls by the bucket load. It is not regarded as waste, like human shit. It is a reusable asset, to be recycled in respect of sustainable farming development. Human shit is not used as a fertilizer, though can be used to generate gas for cooking. Even if not very fragrant. Camel shit is used as fuel for Bedouin camp fires.
ARE THEY SURE? - Southern Water say these are essential improvements. But are they? Many concerned residents are of the opinion that the village was already overloaded. Meaning that these works are more profiteering from over-development of the countryside. It's hot enough already without raising the temperature of planet earth more!
