What happens to animals when they are put down?

Nope. I work in a Humane Society. We can cremate dogs at their owner’s request, but not for shelter dogs that get put down. Shelter dogs are frozen and once a week dumped in a landfill that we have a contract with.

It’s awful.

They usually let the owners bury their dog if the owners insist on doing it :) But then again, i dont know any other methods they use to get rid off the corpses.

^Apathic.

Well my puppy got parvo and had to go to the animal hospital. She was a black lab, and only like a 7 weeks old… and she died there, they said they were pretty sure she would make it, but yeah what the f*ck is what I thought… I cried for like ever… but yeah we asked for her body back and they said we would have to pay extra. BullSh!!!t. That’s what that is. We didnt have the money, so she had to get creamated and I dont know what else they did… I thought omg how horrible… I just want MY dogs body so we can burry her… but nope they wouldnt let us have her dead body back! That was Bullsh!!!t.

So they either creamate them, do research, or give them back to you. (which I didnt get that option because they are f-ing creeps) :’(

you won’t belive this but I know because I’ve asked many honest vets. most won’t tell you because they don’t want to scare you but it’s truw in many places. They store the bodies in toxic tanks, or tall tanks and after they have enough they pour them into a huge cement box and burn them. it’s like a cruel cremation. I would rather bury my dog then have it sitting in a tank for a year!!

tthey can get cremated or you can bury them .
