I think a chainsaw would work.

it sounds like someone is just dying to use explosives...

They should learn something from this: exploding a whale on a beach to ge rid of it

go watch it- it's hilarios as well as educational

Instead of frozen whole cows they are going to have thosands of pieces of cow to clean up

My dad had around a dozen cows standing under a tree in Bama back forty years ago, during a major thunderstorm. Lightning stuck the tree and killed all twelve cows. He had the insurance guy come out, and settle on the cows (he actually made like $300 each). He spent $500 to hire the guy with the local bulldozer then to come out and dig this big hole about 100 hundred feet away from the tree. We dragged the cows into the hole, and had the bulldozer fill in the spot. That’s the only realistic way of handling this. You don’t want to mess with explosives or gasoline. It’s just the wrong logic in a case like this.

They are located up in the Rocky Mountains in an area inaccessible to that kind of equipment. The idea is that if you blow them up properly, scavengers will do the rest.

That may be and for good reason. Is there any problem that can't be solved by blowing it up? Really.

I think I see the problem.

“rangers are worried about using trucks in a wilderness area, where the government bars permanent improvements and tries to preserve the natural habitat.”

Light the cabin on fire, get a drum of KC Masterpiece, and invite the wolves in for a barbecue. Then, shoot the wolves.

It's a conspiracy, because the cows made contact with the "visitors".

A case of Diet Double Dew and Cartman will have them dislodged in a half hour.

That’s the only realistic way of handling this.

During the Reagan boom years, a developer bought land in a town that had been a big tannery area until the early 1900s.

80 years later, backhoes were snagging still rotting carcasses of animals.

Of course, the decay could have been slowed from all the leftover chromium and arsenic sites.

That was my thought. Cut the cows up and use four wheelers with trailers to haul the meat out to the closest road. If you are careful not to over use the same path the impact to the environment should be minimal.
