Is It Legal To Bury A Pet In Your Yard

Introduction

If you’ve got a precious pet and are thinking about burying them in the backyard, think again: It’s illegal in most states, including California. But that might change soon.

The issue was first brought to the public’s attention at an Arizona House of Representatives meeting last month, where lawmakers discussed whether or not it should be allowed to bury pets on private property. While some argued against it because there might be health risks involved with burying animals outside one’s home; others said there is no reason why pet owners shouldn’t have this option available to them as long as they follow proper safety procedures.

Currently, many states do not allow for burials on private property and if found guilty a person would get fined or even jail time depending on how egregious the crime is considered by law enforcement officers.”

The laws vary from state to state, but most have rules against burying pets in your own back yard. Some exceptions exist for certain circumstances such as if you live on a farm or ranch. If you are considering burying your pet yourself, check with your local municipality first to make sure it’s legal before doing so. Some people will bury pets on their property without telling anyone about it as well.

In California, it’s illegal to bury your animal in your own back yard. However, there are some exceptions like if you live on a farm or ranch with a lot of land. Some people will bury pets on their property without telling anyone about it. However, it’s still against the law to do so.

If you want to get away with burying your pet, put them in an above ground grave or put them in a box and throw them away somewhere deep into the woods where no one else would find them. If someone were to see you doing this they might think that they can’t trust you anymore or they would think that something bad happened and that’s why there was an animal buried out there in the woods near your home.

“It was one of those things where I think we were all kind of surprised when we found out there wasn’t already a law on the books, but that’s not uncommon when you work on legislative issues,” said Amy Blum-Roth, a representative for PACC911. Blum-Roth is also an assistant professor at Grand Valley State University and has been working with lawmakers to push for legislation that would allow people to bury pets on their private property. The law would allow people to keep up to four small animals, such as cats or dogs. Larger animals such as horses would be limited to two per acreage property owner; all animals must be six feet under and buried within 24 hours after death occurs.

California law prohibits residents from burying pets on their property. However, the ban is not absolute and there are exceptions to the rule depending on where you live:

• If you live in an agricultural or rural area where land is plentiful, then it’s possible that local ordinances may allow for burial of animals on private property.
• If you live in an urban area with limited space (like San Francisco), then even if there isn’t a specific prohibition against pet burials, such as those enacted by Los Angeles County or Santa Monica City Councils, it might still be illegal for various reasons including health hazards associated with decomposing remains near a home.
