why can some animal waste make good fertilizer/manure but human waste is harmful to use in the same way?

I was watching a homesteading show where they were designing a small structure to capture waste from their goats to use it as fertilizer and it got me thinking about what makes some poop safe to grow food and others not so much.

Poop from herbivores breaks down much quicker than poop from carnivores. Carnivore poop has lots of fats and oils in it that creates little sealed microbiomes that allow very pathogenic bacteria survive for much longer.
