I guess that's why you take a big dump in your kitchen sink every night
before dinner?

Your reality seems to be a bit ignorant of basic ecology & biology.

No, I don't **** in my sink, but then again, if you eat organically
grown foods, they are fertilized with feces.

If you avoid eating "organically grown foods" (is there really such a
thing as inorganically grown?) with the **** still clinging to it, then
maybe you begin to understand.

In the right place, in the right amounts, feces & urine do no harm to
the environment. When directly deposited in areas where it's not
currently part of the local ecology, then it changes (ie damages) the
local ecology.

Due to vastly increased human population, we either need to contain our
waste products in local ecologies that can handle it, or simply turn the
whole world into a cesspool.

Your call.

And exactly where, prey tell, is a place in the ocean that is not a
fish bathroom? If you really want to be exact, most fish populations
are relatively close to shore so the rules limiting discharge in
coastal waters actually runs counter to what is natural.

waste products in local ecologies that can handle it, or simply turn the

Compared to the number of fish - compared to the amount of fish waste
discharged - human discharges into water are minor indeed.

Your call.

yep

Does the difference between humans and fishes pass right through your
mental digestive tract without leaving any thought residue?

And what, prey tell, oh expert in the feces, is the difference between
human feces and fish feces? Since both are the final result of a
basically identical process, the breaking down of organic compounds,
seems to be little if any difference. When you consider marine
mammals I would think the differences would be even less.

The difference is
1- fish excrement is going to be there anyway. Yours is an additional
load on the local ecosystem.

2- the intestinal flora of species are mostly unique.

3- the disease potential... for humans... of human waste is much higher.
For example, fish & whales don't carry cholera...

Is that light bulb starting to get a dim glow yet? I doubt it, most
people will strenuously resist letting facts displace their prejudices.
