perhaps i also don't know enough about this, but find it irresponsible
to  suggest that using human or animal waste directly on a garden is a safe thing to  do.

It is not irresponsible.  Where is the proof?  Never use cat manure directly.  You can get sick just gardening in it where a cat used the bathroom.  Probably will not but possible.  I know one person who did 30 years ago. Very rare.
 
I have done it and recommend it at times.  Cow, horse, pig manures has nothing in it that can get into a human eating the food from such a garden. You will die in a car accident a long time before dying from food out of such a garden.  Yet, we accept those odds without even thinking.
 
If it does not sound pleasant to you, that is another subject.  Read no further, then.   I grew up with all these animals and love'm and have no problem with them.  Even their manure. 
 
While in college I helped the AI technican when he wanted a day off.  One has to put one's arm down the rectum of the cow in all that manure in order to breed her.  I did it one time without a glove.  
So what?
