Stop leaving poop, bottles of urine in parks, demand New Jersey officials

People enjoy the good weather while keeping their distance from one another at Liberty State Park in Jersey City. However, state police say they're finding 'an inordinate amount' of human feces and bottle of urine scattered around the parks.

New Jersey officials warn residents to stop leaving poop and bottles filled with urine in the parks, or authorities may shut them back down.
The Garden State opened county and state parks on May 2 with the caveat that people maintain social distancing. But for the second weekend in a row, park police have found a disturbing amount of human feces and plastic bottles full of urine scattered throughout the open spaces.
“Our state park police reported an inordinate amount of urine and feces being left behind in the parks,” State Police superintendent Pat Callahan said Monday. “There is a zero tolerance for that.”
“You’re not going to get a warning if we catch you leaving something like that behind,” said Gov. Phil Murphy. “So folks, please, don’t do that.”
New Jersey opened the parks to ease lock-down restrictions put in place to battle the coronavirus. The state has suffered more than 9,000 deaths due to COVID-19, and has nearly 140,000 confirmed cases.
Officials acknowledged that while the parks are open, restroom facilities in them have remained closed because of concerns over the coronavirus.
“The whole idea behind the parks is to give our citizens the ability to go out there and enjoy fresh air and have time outside,” Callahan said. "We understand that the restrooms and public restrooms are closed but people should plan accordingly.”

  2. KJV Bible: "Drink from thine own cistern"...and it's great for cancer sufferers.
    Just don't drink the first THREE seconds, and bottle the rest...there's plenty of books at any bookshop and library to reveal the process.
    "Healthiest Water in the world" - Quote from at least three books.
