family pets for most people are no different than any other member of the family, you spend time with them, feed them, groom them and play with them.so when a pet passes away, you are saddened at the loss of a family member, it is understandable to grieve yet it is still important to decide what to do with the remains. so , if you choose to bury your pet in the backyard , is it legal in your country?

I dont see why not, animals die all the time outside and they act as a larger distraction to the easily annoyed then a buried animal would. I don't see a point for a law to be placed, and if one exists, just ignore it nobody can punish you for burying a pet.

I'm not sure- I have heard it is not. Although I continue to bury my cats in my yard. I do Have my dogs cremated and have their ashes in my home. They don't really enforce the law about the small pets so I don't worry about it too much.
