Dead Rabbit In The Garden

Our garden backs onto a field and we quite often get wild rabbits coming in to our garden from the field. Last night I noticed one that didn't seem very well as it wasn't moving much, though it did eventually hop off into next doors garden. Today there is a dead rabbit in our garden. What do I do with it? Our black bin for general waste isn't due to be collected until a week on Monday, so if I put it in there it will be very smelly by then. I do wish it had stayed in next doors garden and died there, but as it didn't I'm now stuck with the problem.

I'd lob it in the field. Well I wouldn't....I'd get someone else to do it...

Whatever!!!

/////The red kite's diet consists mainly of small mammals such as mice, voles, shrews, young hares and rabbits. It feeds on a wide variety of carrion including sheep carcasses and dead game birds///.

///The common buzzard breeds in woodlands, usually on the fringes, but favours hunting over open land. It eats mainly small mammals, and will come to carrion.///

A bit off topic...but interesting that those making accusations of rudeness,etc...seem a bit rude/sarky themselves. Or am I imagining things?

Oh yes they do. Just sit outside Harewood House on the outskirts of Leeds in the early morning and watch the Red Kites and Buzzards eating roadkill.

I would dig a hole and bury it in place that is not likely to be disturbed

//and will come to carrion./// When desperate, so would you! They certainly won't eat a maggoty diseased rabbit carcass, which this is rapidly becoming.
Bury it!
