Sadly from time to time people will find dead wild animals and birds. This may be because your cat has caught it or you are driving along and find one at the side of the road.

Because of how busy we are with live casualties it is not possible for us to collect and dispose of dead wildlife.

The standard advice from most organisations is to bury it in the ground or double bag it and place it in your household waste.

If you are registered with a local vet they will sometimes dispose of them for you free of charge.

If you find a dead animal or bird on the road side the local district, borough or city council are responsible for disposing of the body. We hope this information is useful.
