“Sometimes...dead’s bettah.”
We have one dog buried in the back yard under a tree; he was a rescue dog that was VERY hard to train, but he lived a good life out here on the farm with us for a few years before he died. Both of our senior cats (17 and 15) were cremated at our AWESOME Vet's office and all of our subsequent dogs have been and will be as well.
And for those of you who beat me up a few weeks ago for claiming that animals don't have souls; well, have at it again, LOL! (They don't!)
P.S. And what the heck is even LEFT of thes pets? Some of them have been in the ground since 1964!
How terrible for the people who have their pets buried there. We have our own pet cemetery in our backyard, and each of our animals have memorials. I can’t imagine moving now.
Some people are very lonely and those pets may have been their companion for years before crossing the Rainbow Bridge. I see no need to be disrespectful to those who are placed in this emotional situation.
It’s a freaking animal. We donate our dead pets to the vet school.
This doesn’t seem right at all. I would file an injunction if I had buried a pet there.
MUHAHAHAHHAHAHAAH!
I’m in favor of using a combination of two species of insects to reduce unwanted animal remains and cadavers to clean bones, as a relatively fast, inexpensive, and clean disposal technique. This technique has long been used by natural history museums to clean bones for display.
Instead of wasting and possibly contaminating good land, or using a huge amount of fuel for cremation, all that remains are more insects that can be safely and cleanly disposed as organic waste.
It also provides for the recovery of artificial parts for recycling. Dry bones can then be ground for powder, then briefly heated to insure sterility before being placed in an urn. Otherwise, they might be preserved in an religious ossuary.
While unknown in America, the last major active European ossuary at Douaumont in France contains the remains of more than 130,000 French and German soldiers that fell at the Battle of Verdun during World War I.
O M G !

I'm not saying animals can't have and express emotions and loyalty, but souls are what sets people apart. Animals were a gift from God put here for our use, be that food, clothing, or companionship, but souls? Nah, I'm with you.

Not on the same level as the Chi-Town graveyard ghoul story.
Yeah, bury it on your property, but to actually pay money for a burial plot ???
This comes down to contract law. What were the terms on the contract signed when they buried their pets?
Well turning them into golf courses kills two birds with one stone. Dead people get to stay buried while living people get extra places to get in some golf.
Dead people down below...living people up above. Everybody is a winner!
Also, the tombstones could double as hazards for the golfers up above. Make the game a little more challenging.
