DH throwing dead mice in our outside bin

Without bagging them. AIBU to think that this is grim? We have a bit of an issue with them, so it's happened more than once.

We get a few, because we have a cat who likes catching them but delines to eat them.

Hubby flings them over the fence into the field.

I usually pop them in a biodegradable food waste bag before popping in the outside rubbish bin; ridiculous as it sounds, flinging them into the field seems a bit anti-social.

Depends how it died. If you poisoned it then it needs to not be accessible to any other form of life or more creatures will die.

Killed by a cat or a trap, I would put it at the end of the garden out of sight and it will be taken by another creature for food.

There have been times when one has been very mangled or half eaten and bleeding and those I have wrapped in kitchen roll and put them in the bin, tied up the bag and put it in the wheelie. Unless it gets hot it won't really smell any worse than the rubbish that is in it.

Into the hedge. There is a small queue of foxes by dark.

My DH gets them (and dead birds) on a shovel and tosses them in the bin.
