"They need to take it to the vet and have it disposed of," said Kathy Brandon, fulfillment manager. "Bury it in the backyard maybe."
Ken Ruppert, a supervisor at the warehouse, said: “It could have been a driver somewhere along the road that didn't have the proper disposal,” but still he recommends people find proper ways to dispose of deceased pets.
Dr. Daniel Carey, senior emergency veterinarian at Dayton Care Center, said pets are often more like family members to their owners these days. He said are options to cremate or bury the pet at a designated pet cemetery.
“It seems cold and heartless but to me it doesn't sound like that was the case; there was some thought put into this and probably some very real desperation from a person who didn't know what else to do,” Carey said.
If you are thinking about burying your pet on your property, you do you need to contact your local Humane Society and zoning board to make sure that it's legal.
