    That’s your point of view. And I won’t give you any counter-arguments… I’m not even religious by any mean, but showing some respect is the minimum due to every living being on earth.

    Sure I put my own vision to other family members, but In most people believe system being thrown away like trash is not the way you want to be remembered of.

    Putting them in the trash is just as acceptable as throwing out that 2 month old cooked beef

    I do not eat any meat but I won’t push that specific regime to anyone, because that’s not how it works. However, I’m not sure this comparison is right… You wouldn’t eat your cat/dog, pet bird, bunny?

      I have had pet bunny soup, unfortunately. We were moving and we couldn’t give him away so my grandpa took him out back and my grandma fired up the stove… It wasn’t a nice experience for us kids but it was culturally acceptable here.

      I don’t since you tend to keep your pets around until they’re too ill to keep on living decently and I wouldn’t eat sick meat.

      (not who you replied to)

      Well… Yeah, for living beings, not corpses. A corpse is not gonna care about you “respecting” (a human concept!) it. Like, it’s fine if you need to bury a pet to feel better, but it’s not gonna care - these kinds of rituals are for the living.

      (Also, fwiw, I’d hope my corpse would be harvested for organs after my death and everything that can’t be used to help the living can be chopped up and tossed in the bin lol I’m not gonna be there to see it. Plus, that way I’m not wasting space decomposing slowly.)
