No, that's a generalization, not the obvious. But depending on how it's handled, it isn't bad. Zoo poo isn't just from elephants, it's all sorts of critters' poop pooled together.

While cat and dog doo are by themselves rather caustic on the yard, or considered a biohazard in some contexts, in a hot pile of compost it's fine.

Some of the best canteloupes I've ever eaten were the ones that grew in an old compost pile.
