What to do after a pet is sacrificed? How should the body be disposed of?
Nowadays, many people like to raise cats. For cat lovers, the death of a pet cat is a very sad and uncomfortable event, because the life span of cats is not as long as that of humans. Generally, cats are old after more than ten years. What should you do if your pet cat dies? How to dispose of the body?
It was learned from a pet hospital that 3 of the 10 sacrificed pets were not cremated, and the other 6 were taken away by their owners. Funeral methods are often used. From an investigative perspective, burying pet corpses is an important way to temporarily dispose of animal corpses.
According to Guilan, a veterinary dog disease prevention expert at the Beijing Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Station, the dogs that died of the disease mainly died of canine distemper, parvovirus, adenovirus infection and parasites transmitted by humans and animals. Most of the dead cats died of cat plague, and most of the cats carried parasites. Locusts, fleas.
"After the body of a pet is buried, some pathogens die naturally, but some pathogens can survive in the dead bone marrow for a year, and spores can survive in the soil for several years. This poses a huge threat to the environment. Water is particularly susceptible to contamination."
Experts suggest that if pet bodies are buried, they must be separated from wells, springs and rivers by at least 50 meters. In short, stay out of the water and avoid infection. When buried, the animal carcass is separated from the ground by at least half a meter. Animal carcasses should be covered with quicklime or 20% bleach. Supplies used by sick pets should be soaked in a bleach solution with a concentration of 5% or higher or a peracetic acid solution with a concentration of 0.2% to 0.5% to achieve a complete disinfection effect.
Experts believe that if a dead pet is abandoned, even if the body is eventually discarded in a garbage dump, it will cause the spread of the disease body at any time in the process, thereby causing contamination to water quality, air and soil. Infectious venereal diseases on animal carcasses, especially communicable diseases between humans and animals, can cause harm to humans and the environment at any time. The best and most complete solution for this kind of physical infection should be cremation.
However, for the time being, the owner of the pet's body is still slightly cremated. Zhou Guilan believes that in addition to the rise in cremation prices, another important reason is that people have unclear concepts about the safe disposal of animal carcasses. "The best harmless treatment is cremation. Cremation is the most complete way to disinfect bacteria, viruses and parasites carried on pets. Disposal and disposal may have potential effects on the environment."
Currently, there is an occasion in Beijing dedicated to the cremation of animal carcasses. In the small animal memorial forest of Daxing Huangxi Nursery in Beijing, 2,000 acres of land are buried under the ashes of cats and dogs. The China Small Animal Protection Association has saved more than 1,000 small animals. After they died, they were all sent to this fireCeramics and ashes. Small animal memorial forest staff believe that this method can not only return animals to nature, but also help the recycling of organic materials in the environment.
In some countries, pet corpses are precisely controlled
Mr. Liao, an animal burial service center found in overseas data, said that some countries have strict decisions on pet corpses. First, the pet's body must be examined by a veterinarian to test whether they have infectious diseases. Pets with infectious diseases must be cremated. When it comes to burying animals, the location is clearly defined and cannot be landfilled. The size and depth of the pit must be determined based on the length of the animal.
According to reports, the pet funeral industry has created a mature industry overseas. For example, there are about 11 million pets in the UK, and the annual pet market value is as high as 3.5 billion pounds. The pet funeral industry may provide services such as cremation, camphoring, pet cemeteries and greeting cards. In Japan, there are not only pet cremations, pet funerals and pet cemeteries, but also temples dedicated to pets.
It's hard for all cat lovers, but you still need to let your pet cat sleep. Cremating your pet cat can better protect the environment and avoid being buried in the soil and being picked up by other animals.
