You could have your body sent to a “body farm” where they put your body out in the open, and let nature take its course; all while having it documented/studied by a forensics team.

Sky burials are done because of Tibetan tradition, and honestly, even that as a tradition is dying out for various reasons. Not something that will ever take hold here in the US (nor should it, imo)

The biggest issue is that people won’t do their damn research and actually look up breeders who are responsible/ethical. The reality is, people are never going to stop supporting breeders. And in some cases I get why you need certain breeds for certain jobs (guardian breeds, breeds for police work, etc). Unfortunately your average rescue probably won’t be able to do those tasks. What gets me is when people so desperately want a specific breed of puppy, but they say “fuck all” to doing actual research on whatever breed they want and then end up giving the dang things away because they can’t handle them. I have zero respect for those people.

Not so sure about the “everyone wanting a dog since the pandemic” part; I think shelters across the country are fuller than they’ve ever been. We’re also seeing a ton of “Covid puppies” being returned to shelters and these poor things have brutal separation anxiety, which makes them even harder to adopt out.
