What to do about a dead animal?

Answer 1

When an animal dies, first, because rabies is still a worldwide problem, you should contact a veterinarian so that he or she can attempt to determine the nature of the animal's death; next, you should bury its carcass.

Answer 2

The safest thing for you to do is to call your local police or animal control group. Let them handle and remove the animal. Animals that appear dead may not be, and approaching or trying to handle them may cause serious injury. You may expose yourself to rabies, and you do not want to do that.

Answer 3

Make sure it's dead.
