Why can't animal poop from carnivourous animals be thrown in the green bin (composter)?

Question

I have heard that if your animals eat only vegen the poop can go in the compost but not if they eat meat? why is this? I put meat in the green bin??

Answer 1

First, you should NOT be composting meat. The smell of rotting meat and fats reeks, and I expect your neighbors will object at some point. Also, there is the tendancy to draw other animals and insects attracted to the rancidity. In addition to the above, parasites often found in dogs and cats are spread via contact with their feces.

While the temperatures in a compost pile are supposed to kill weed seeds this doesn't always occur. The threat of spreading parasites is too great a risk, and remember you are exposing yourself to infestation when you handle the compost.

The link has a list of good and bad choices of things to compost.

Answer 2

I agree wholeheartedly with Mindshift, don't even go there, best to stick to vegetarian animals like cows, horses, chickens etc

Answer 3

e-coli!
(present in the intestines of animals)
Composting is not enough to destroy this critter.
