Most animals will not soil their supply of food/water/rest unless given no choice. Humans are different in that we can reason away practically anything we do. "I pissed in the pool, but there is chlorine to clean it and it goes through filters, my piss won't affect anything in a few mins, plus it is so diluted no one will notice"

    I think most humans would be very upset if you took a shit in the lake they were swimming in lol

    Piss is like 95% water so unless you're close enough to feel the temperature change, it's really not that big of a deal. Pools are generally a lot smaller than lakes +and lack the microbiology to deal with it naturally) though so don't be a pool pisser.
