Oh well... in the Middle Ages it was the custom - even though they 
didn't have the water closets - just a potty or a hole.

And as much as we dislike the idea... I don't know if such *natural* things really are *polluting*.
 
I think the merpeople use it to fertilize their lake... Sprout 
prefers Dragon Dung, but - well, I guess the merpeople make use for 
human dung... oh, and what about THEIR excrements? OR those of the 
fish?..
 
Arynn: 
Anyone who knows about gardening knows you shouldn't use meat eater's dung as fertalizer. That's what's always bugged me about the dragon dung thing. (Just like you shouldn't put meat in a compost pile)
 
Not to mention the fact that in the middle ages the average life expectancy was like 20 years, and the epidemics that sweapt Europe were more often than not caused by the fact that when people were done "going" in their buckets, they would just throw them out into the street. Human excrement is LOADED with harmful bacteria, horse and cow dung not so much, but we still wash our veggies before eating them. 
 
I have wondered about the merepeople's excrement though. But as thier lower halves are fish I imagine they would have more fishlike poo than humanlike. Anyone who has fishtanks knows that fish poo mostly dissolves on it's own, it does build up, but not as much as human's does.
