Is this easier or more effective than making a shallow grave?
When burying a dead animal, especially a big one like a house, you can contaminate the ground water and the pathogens stay in the soil for a very long time.
It mostly depends on the soil.
For anyone interested in deadstock disposal (who wouldn't be) I found this great resource : Best Management Practices - Deadstock Disposal
In Ontario it seems that 22% of the farmers are burying their deadstock and 20% of them are composting it.
Deadstock sounds like a joke but it makes sense lol. Also "who wouldn't be" made me chuckle 🤭
possibly more effective, as decomp rates would be much higher, but definitely not easier.
I guess my perspective is off. I'm thinking this is rare and a grave wouldn't matter. I guess in reality people need to deal with multiple dead horses at a time at large stables (maybe) and that the faster the corpse is dessicated the faster animals stop digging at it.
I was reading about it: sometimes there's legislation around animal disposal or situations where you can't bury - like very stony ground or shallow bedrock
