What does mass burial involve?

Mass burial specifically refers to the practice of interring multiple animal remains at the same time. This method is typically used in situations where there has been a significant outbreak of disease or when large numbers of animals need to be disposed of quickly and efficiently. The practice helps to prevent the spread of disease and manage potential environmental impacts by consolidating the remains in a designated area.

While disposal of waste in the ocean and taking animals to a rendering facility are also methods of disposal, they do not align with the definition of mass burial. Additionally, burying single animal remains pertains to a very different process focused on individual cases rather than the simultaneous disposal of large groups.
