Totally agree that most of it is animal poop from slacking dog owners. Poop in SF gets a bad rap because SF311 has very open data polices and they misinterpret these reports as being all human feces. NYC collects the same sort of crowdsourced reports from citizens, including feces, but they don't release the data in bulk in a way that lets you zero in on just the feces.
Though its partially SF Gov's fault since for a long time the SF311 data export actually called these reports "human waste/feces" despite most of them being dog poo. I reported this to them and they fixed it but that doesn't stop people with an agenda from pretending its a map of human poop.
