@General Lighting]its a shame more people didn’t use a shovel as TBH it looks like despite having a meeting between the cops, council, Forestry Commission [B wrote:
and [/B]every seperate part of Defra (including the bits of the core department which don’t normally get involved in “local” issues) the only real contamination was the human shit (note how no other problems were mentioned!)
A lot of effort was put into clearing up the other rubbish at the party – people can be seen on the TV report doing this – and it is true the locals are flytipping stuff there as well (like with any other open space)
but there’s no way rave crews can be or should be expected to clear up other peoples shit.
But if its just left there it is a hazard until it degrades. The difference between human waste and that of other species is that humans are even filthier creatures which carry even more diseases!
In rural areas people used to get very ill due to human waste (often used as fertilizer) contaminating watercourses and fields used for food crops, and the people who collected it did not last very long.
It may be true that the Chinese still use human waste as fertilizer (although this practice is now being discouraged); but that is also why they do not like eating raw vegetables on the mainland…
Your right, it would be hard for rig owners to clear up other peoples Human shit !
But its not fair on the locals either though. Its a shame as it is one thing i find disapointing about most parties nowadays, people do just shit anywhere !
At one party in Wales I even had a couple of girls stop me and ask what i was doing walking to the woods with a spade…. when i said “going for a shit” I had to expalin that i was going to dig a whole for it first…… They said “Urghhh ! that’s disgusting… why do you do that !” – or words to that effect !
I couldn’t beleive that they didn’t get it ! Is it really that hard to figure out that shitting on the ground will caucse loadsa hassle for someone ? – would they like to clear up someone else’s Shit, or worse still, tread in it ?????
I think more people should be aware of this problem, and it should get sorted out as it is one of the few legitimate complaints people can make about free parties that nobody can really argue against ! – and the last thing we want is to give them ammunition (urgh, i didn’t mean it like that !!!!)
Anywayz, Rant over
