Maybe I'm alone on this, but my family used to put dead birds, squirrels,... found on our terrain in the trash... I really got furious and said that those were living beings and they deserve proper burial even if it's some random animal found in the backyard...
The only way to make them understand what It means was to say: "Don't worry, I will also put your dead body in a trash bin".
That's fine, put me in the trash. Reverence for dead bodies is weird. They aren't living, they will never be living again, they are empty husks of meat. The only reason to bury them or do anything else with them is to avoid the spreading of rot and disease. Putting them in the trash is just as acceptable as throwing out that 2 month old cooked beef you forgot about in the back of the fridge.
That's your point of view. And I won't give you any counter-arguments... I'm not even religious by any mean, but showing some respect is the minimum due to every living being on earth.
Sure I put my own vision to other family members, but In most people believe system being thrown away like trash is not the way you want to be remembered of.
I do not eat any meat but I won't push that specific regime to anyone, because that's not how it works. However, I'm not sure this comparison is right... You wouldn't eat your cat/dog, pet bird, bunny?
I have had pet bunny soup, unfortunately. We were moving and we couldn't give him away so my grandpa took him out back and my grandma fired up the stove... It wasn't a nice experience for us kids but it was culturally acceptable here.
