    Re: Very wierd Question

    Haven't had a pet die in a while thank goodness, but when I was little our old duplex had a trio of kittens (sad story, one from the SPCA had an illness and passed it to our two others), a few snakes, and a couple fish. They all had individual graves with markers and a nice little garden around them. I was really sad when we moved and had to leave them...

    Re: Very wierd Question

    In the summer, I just dig a hole and throw it in. In the winter, my pets have usually been stuffed in a plastic bag, placed in a box and then thrown in the bin.

    Haven't lost any snakes yet.

    Moving and leaving them behind is why I cremate most of my pets. But for snakes, I have this prairie - about a half acre of prairie plants that we encourage - and I bury them there. I think it is an area they would like.

    Mostly I put them in the freezer.
    I do not know why, because most of the time I do nothing with them.

    Re: Very wierd Question

    my ideal is burial, but I lack opportunity
    we still have the ashes of a cat that died in '99 in a box, meaning to bury them someplace or at least toss them in the wind some nice place
    with that in mind, smaller animals have ended up in the bin after after a few weeks in the freezer
    once we move things may change

    It's probably to be able to do a dissection afterwards. That way you might still learn something about the animal or the death of the animal.
