Contamination of the soil by a dead cat?




by Marcel_EJ » 05/03/19, 19:29

Hello Didier
Thank you for your videos and for your book, it's a pleasure to put your concepts into practice!
I have a small, somewhat macabre question ... This winter, my cat died of an unknown disease, and I buried it in my garden.
It is about 5 m from my closest crops (garlic and shallots planted in the fall) and I was wondering if there was a problem. I hope you can reassure me. Thank you in advance for your answer
Regards
Etienne

Indeed, I do not think there can be a possibility of risk:

a) the "disease" would have to be transmitted to humans - which was possibly a risk during cohabitation during his lifetime

b) that the cause of this "disease" (bacteria, virus, rickettsia ...) can survive in the soil - unlikely; it is undoubtedly a strict parasite, specialized in the fact of squatting living animal cells, more precisely mammalian cells and in this case feline (although the bacteria causing tetanus survives in the soil and can contaminate the man in case of injury - every gardener should be vaccinated, although I know in our comfortable society we tend to be against vaccines - a luxury of rich and healthy people) ...

c) that it travels underground the distance in question

d) that it passes through the "filter" of the plant, which does not absorb microorganisms ...

So I wouldn't worry. BUT I am not a vet!

I think the same ... the risk is extremely low ... unless your cat is dead irradiated because there it goes everywhere! But the risk that he was irradiated to death is extremely low too! : Cheesy:

Otherwise, if I remember correctly a few years ago an English start-up offered "green" burials in a shroud under a tree, I believe that we could choose fruit trees (hence the name of Granny Smith apples * : Cheesy: ) ... So when we know what the "dying" take as a medoc ... there was something to worry about (a little) ...

Besides, human corpses have even struggled to decompose for years ...

* Granny can be used to say grandmother in colloquial English ...

ps: generally unknown diseases of cats that die is rat death taken directly by an unfriendly neighbor ... or indirectly via a rodent contaminated in high doses ...

Irradiated is not radioactive
Irradiation is the direct consequence of the external exposure of a body (inert or living) to ionizing radiation (IR).

Carried out in a controlled manner, irradiation finds applications in different sectors such as the food industry (sanitation and food preservation) or the medical environment (external radiation exposures during x-rays).

It is rather the too dry environment of the coffins which tends to mummify the bodies and also the thanatopraxia https://www.consoglobe.com/corps-ne-se- ... ieres-cg/3

The health services, for decades have recorded cases of mortality from all diseases, through pharmaco-vigilance. The minimum is therefore to consult these reports and the statistics which accompany them before leaving this type of commonplace, this brainwashing for two cents.

the document to which your link refers is absolutely not objective and gives no statistics, it is just an extract from a book, which publishes charges against vaccines, so presents the link as such and not as you do , we could believe to read to you that behind there are relentless statistics

no point of view is objective! This is only the other side of the coin, a response from the shepherd to the shepherdess (BP) so he is dependent like the others are on discharge, without evidence.
For statistics it is necessary to consult the official ones, only "valid" in terms of comparison between for and against.
However if these statistics are correct, the extracts used by the provaxx are cheating because it is not a question of relying on extracts but on all of these statistics worldwide.

Hello,

I doubt that this is a real concern.
However, the Law (Rural Code) as well as the departmental hygiene regulations regulate the fate of dead animals. In the case of a cat, which must have weighed less than 40Kg (except in unlikely cases : Wink: ), you can bury it but I understand that there are rules of distances with respect to dwellings and water points as well as concerning the depth of burial and the recovery by lime.
