What do you do with your dead pet?

[ToxicPaddy]

Hi all
When your pets die, like hamsters or fish etc, do you throw them in the bin or something like that?

See, I am a keen tropical fish keeper, and I consider them as real pets, so I bury them in the garden when they die. Mum thinks I should put fish in the toilet but I think thats disrespectful. With all pets, regardless of size, I would bury them in the garden. There's a little patch of garden where I can bury them, there's quite a lot there.

So, do you bury pets or throw them in the bin?

Discuss :)

[Nemo]

well... i can only remember ever having 4 pets.


1) Cat - Buried him
2 + 3) The gerbals ran away coz we accidently left the cage open for a second too long.
4) well, hes still alive :>

[ToxicPaddy]

How far down did you bury your cat? I would imagine a few foot to stop it smelling after a week or two? And was it in a box/coffin to try prevent smell?

[Stephen!]

i burn my pets

[Stacey.]

My cat ran away.
My Mum flushed my goldfish down the toilet.
My dog was cremated and sits on the shelves downstairs in a really nice box. :)

[Kardan]

Fish go down the toilet, everything else gets buried.

[Stephen!]

My cat ran away.
My Mum flushed my goldfish down the toilet.
My dog was cremated and sits on the shelves downstairs in a really nice box. :)

For a second there i thought you said you flush your dog down the toilet.

Not really, if you get an urn and keep the ashes in there. It's just cremation.

[Aarcn]

Isn't it cruel though ? I could imagine it now

[Fishermaaan]

[Bun]

fishies go down the loo :).

[ToxicPaddy]

People say fish go down the toilet, but they are little lives too :) I mean, would you want to go down the toilet when you die?

And if you dont put fish in a box, just in the mud, after a few weeks if another one died you can put it in the same place the last one was because the decomposition has already taken place seeing as its a small fish in contact with soil.

i wouldn't care as i'm dead and i'm sure the fish don't care either.

[Blinger1]

If it is a dog then we throw it in the tip.

[Moh]

We had our dog cremated.

[Hiro]

I eat them.
Waste of meat..

nah, they all get buried..

[Meanies]

Fishies - down the toilet
Hamsters - in the bin
Guinea Pigs - burn
Rabbits - burn
Bugies - it flew away


Dad used to take guniea pigs and rabbits to work (a farm) and burn them.

Dogs - cremated - only had one die and that was from being put to sleep
Cats - cremated

can't think what other animals i've had

[JessicaLOL]

buried my birds and guinea pig, my cat went missing and it must have got run over because a vet that lives afew doors down told my mum she'd buried a cat that looked like ours afew days ago after being run over :(

thats all thats died so far:)

[Fifteen]

My first tropical fish that died I put it in a match box and buried it in my garden, then a fox ate it :(
LOL, so we just flushed them down the toilet after that.
My cat got cremated and her ashes got spread in a animal cematory.

[Axel]

2 + 3) The gerbals ran away coz we accidently left the cage open for a second too long.


Haha. :D

[PriceTags]

It's dead... It's not like burning it alive.

[bo$$]

Donate it's body for science.


jk.
One of my sisters cats we buried.. the fish went down the toilet.. and I still have my dog. I think for the dog it'd be best to just call a vet or something and let them do their thang.

[whitebengal]

i sell their corpse on ebay


Lol as gross as that is it still made me laugh


5 fish - 4 Buried last one my brother ate it.
1 dog - Crimated
2 rabbits - Crimated
2 mini sharks - buried

If it is a dog then we throw it in the tip.

I always have my pets buried....The dead ones i mean!
I'll probably get my dog cremated though because I love her too much to bury her!

[Davii]

[luce]

[ToxicPaddy]

You found a dead frog and buried it? Cant say I have heard of that before, but it's caring of you :)

Imagine after 6 months of so what it would look like if it was taken up.. I done that to a fish a while back now and it was like its skin, saw bits of a skeleton, and all this brown liquid surrounding it in a plastic box. It stunk of rotting eggs so I put it back and was like.. eww.. Still, all in the name of science :P

lol that reminds me of the story my mum told me...when i was 2 i was at the top of the garden...she came to see what i was doing and i had dug up the fish they had buried earlier....she asked me what i was doing and i had turned around and said ' I was just seeing if it was still dead ' :eusa_danc
My family never ever let me live that one down.... :rolleyes:

[Mitch4?]

In work when any fish dies we put them in a plastic bag, tie it, then put it in the bin.
Hamsters we put them in a box in the bin
And i've never seen any reptiles die :)

[splatttt]

We have them cremated....
why would you bury your animal in the garden! :o
i couldnt do that.

fish, hamsters and all that we just put in a box in the bin.
proper pets like dogs and cats and that we have cremated

[Dan2nd]

All of my pets we buried in the garden except for the fish which we flush

[Paulio]

Budgie: Burried
Fish: Toilet

[Technologic]

They get cremated

[Uioepus]

My nan buried her pet dog in the garden, good memories the dog had with the whole family, I'm always gonna miss that good ol' legend.

My dad flushes fish down the toilet.

Rabbits were sold so I don't know if there dead or not.

[Firehorse]

5 fish - 4 Buried last one my brother ate it.
1 dog - Crimated
2 rabbits - Crimated
2 mini sharks - buried

:(:(:(:(:(:(

Mini sharks:S

I buried a hamster in a small transparent plastic box at the end of my garden. I wouldn't be surprised if it was dug up some day with a carcas in it by the next house owners.

[Samantha.]

I Don't Really Know
I Think My Mum Buried My Hampster In My Old Backgarden
And I Can't Remember About My Dog, I Was Too Young ;]

[Geraint]

My nan's dead cat is buried in the garden. She made a rockery around it.

[Slowpoke]

******* sick

I buried my rabbit :(

Thousands of humans and animals are cremated everyday. I think being buried is sick because of the fact that the body decomposes, rots and is eaten by maggots and other bugs/insects.

[Spiffing]

Fish- My bruv flushed em away ¬¬
8 Hamsters- Buried in the garden
Budgie- Gave it to my nan so she probably binned it
Rabbit- Still alive :D but will be buried

[Re-Call]

Fish - Old backgarden
Hamsters 1 to 2 all went to the vet.. wonder what they do with them?
Dog - Got put down at vets

[Jordy]

When my sister's horse died we had to get a JCB to bury it :(

[Eamonn]

Fish - Flushed
Budgie - Buried
Rabbits - Both got put down so the vet dealt with the bodies

and my dog I will most likely cremate when she passes away :(

[Abzii]

My fish go down the toilet, and my hamsters get burried

[GearsOfWar]

When my cat died the council disposed of him as "humanly" as they could, he got ran over. :(

[slam]

we buried our cat in a box, but we let the vet take our dog away after she was put to sleep.

[SUPERhanna.]

I've only ever had dead fish, my dad used to flush them down the loo

[Fehm]

Umm.... xD Buried (Y) R.I.P

[GommeInc]

Dogs and cats are cremated, although one of our cats was buried. Fish and hamsters are buried about 1/2 a foot deep. Not sure what happens to birds of prey though, I'm sure my brother keeps them frozen "/

[Capacitate]

Usually we bury them, I can't remember what my mum did with the fish though.

[Joshuae]

I have 4 turtles & a hamster in my garden floor.

[drama]

we gave my cat to our weird unclewho stuffs animals or something.



im not actually joking..

[Susie Dent]

lol that reminds me of the story my mum told me...when i was 2 i was at the top of the garden...she came to see what i was doing and i had dug up the fish they had buried earlier....she asked me what i was doing and i had turned around and said ' I was just seeing if it was still dead ' :eusa_danc

Lin?Cognito? The Mother of all Time?
tell her to SHUT. UP. does she still ride a motorbike???? our biker granny
As for the Sister toad, tell her to go stroke her pusseh

[Bef]

All my dearly beloved yet no longer with us pets have been cremated. Cept the gerbils i had when i was a kid which got eaten alive by the cat. and the goldfish i used to win at fairs which would die within a day and get flushed down the toilet.

Not got a garden, I'd post them through someones letterbox, or hire a delivery man if they we're too big ;)

[Xyper]

Throw over the fence.

I disagree there.
My nan died 2 weeks ago and we got her cremated last week.
It made me feel more upset as i had the thought that she was being burnt.

But then again, If they did bury her body i suppose if i went to see her i might think "her body is down there"
So 50/50 on that :)


And with my pet's i have only had my hamster die and my dad put it in the bin. I was like :O!!!!!
But then again if we buried it the dogs might dig it up.

[Catzsy]

When I was small and a goldfish or hamster died I insisted in a huge ceremony and buried them in boxes and made my dad carve their names on lollipop sticks and made crosses.

[Caution]

When I had fish they went down the toilet. My dog was cremated after she was put down.

[leah]

LOL well once my fish died I put itin a butter container filled with water because I thought it would like to be in water (a)
and cats died :( put them in a bag *squeel*

[Crimson]

We've only ever had cats.. and fish S:

Cat 1, ran over.. buried. 2.. ran over.. buried..

Moved house.

3, put down.. vets? O_o

4, mysterious death.. still don't know how he died.. buried
and 5, still alive.

We flush our fish D:

these cats have been around for over 20 years.. it's not like they die and we got new ones each year D<

[Obiod]

i sell their corpse on ebay
YOUR SICK!


If it is a dog then we throw it in the tip.
That's just cruel :(


Throw over the fence.
Omg u sicko.


We flush our fish, we sold teh bunny, & our dog is still here ;)

[1XxlianexX1]

I wrapped my hamster in newspaper and put him in the bin because I have so many cats near me the cats would just dig him up and eat him if we buired him.

[cocaine]

People say fish go down the toilet, but they are little lives too :) I mean, would you want to go down the toilet when you die?

..but I am not a fish.

[Naruto!]

Tigger, Misty = burried in back garden
fishes = flushed cus i was like 4.
hamster = burried old house
dog (rocky) = cremated.
snowy = rabbit, given away.

so yh.

[Georgia]

fish get flushed down the toliet
my hamster was buried in the garden

[brandon]

i sell their corpse on ebay
haha that made me laugh in my head. Which is quite an achievement.

Anyway, I haven't had a pet in a while and I don't remember what I did in the past. I wouldn't put a hamster in the bin with all the repulsive rubbish because I find that disrespectful (even though it's dead). A fish down the toilet isn't as bad mind, unless the toilet has skid marks....

[[Chris]]

My old dog got cremated
My hamsters & gerbals (sp) Got buried
MY fish got flushed

MY next door neighbour who died a while ago, buried their big german shepard (sp again) in their back garden

[Jack.Lfc]

My pet spider got stuffed and it sits on my tele.
My pet worm is dead in a jar.
My pet ladybird got burried.

[Herman]

I've only kept fish, terrapins (tortoises) and a hamster.

Fish, unfortunately, gets thrown in the bin. :S
We gave our terrapins away.
And our hamster is still with us.

I live in an apartment, so no garden or anything.
