I wasn’t sure if it came out in their faeces or what? @meths

Birds and reptiles turn it into uric acid. Birds have a chamber called a cloaca where digestive wastes, uric acid, and eggs or sperm go before leaving the body. While the uric acid is in the cloaca, birds can absorb some of the water back.

Maybe, but why can’t I piss in the street then. Like, I reckon a great dane could piss as much as me, so how come he (or she) can go where they like?

Birds convert nitrogen to uric acid instead: this is metabolically more costly but saves water and weight, as it is less toxic and doesn’t need to be diluted so much. Birds therefore don’t have a urethra, and don’t pee – all waste leaves via the anus.

I think it’s more the indecency of exposing your flaccid penis in public.

#12

Piss isn’t that bad a liquid really

#13

I don’t think that’s the reason you can’t piss in public, is it? it’s cos there would be piss all over the floor, like a dog!
Women could pee in the street very inoffensively

The piss of a human is worse than the piss of a canine.

Also, pissing externally is an inherent part of being a dog.

#15

Pretty sure I piss externally mate?!

#17

Sometimes you piss internally in a toilet or urinal

#18

Might start a petition. Just so a load of MPs have to talk about dog piss in the commons

#19

there must be a country where this isnt allowed. Like you have to clean it up afterwards. I want to live there

#21

What other animals would you force to stop pissing?

#22

just those under the supervision of humans

I saw a truck driver peeing against the wheel of his truck a couple of days ago. It’s his truck now.

It’s funny to think of a dog owner as a dog supervisor. Thanks for your word choice.

Not sure many folk have an issue with people weeing in public, tbh. Totally depends on the context. If it’s someone pissed-up and being a lazy bastard, bollocks to 'em. If it’s someone caught short or because of a lack of facilities, 100% fine and shouldn’t be a stigma about it.
