When Is Livestock Removal Needed for Emergencies?
While the primary service offered by Graver Horse Removal is respectful transportation and burial/cremation of horses and livestock that have passed away from natural causes, there are also emergency scenarios where our prompt response becomes vital. We operate our equine and livestock removal services 24 hours a day, 7 days a week to assist in urgent situations involving animal casualties.
From man-made disasters to severe weather events, here are some crisis circumstances when our team’s expertise in safe, lawful removal becomes crucial:
Barn Fires & Structure Collapses
Fires at horse stables, cow barns or other livestock housing structures can have devastating consequences. In addition to overwhelming property damage, tragic animal fatalities are extremely traumatic occurrences. Our removal technicians have the proper equipment and training to legally collect and transport remains from hazardous fire scenes while avoiding any evidence contamination.
Natural Disaster Casualties
Tornadoes, hurricanes, floods, blizzards and other natural disasters put livestock at high risk for injuries, structure collapses, debris strikes, and more. When weather emergencies strike, catastrophic animal losses can occur. We respond rapidly to collect casualties with sensitivity while owners focus on disaster recovery.
Mass Casualty Transportation Accidents
From overturned livestock haulers to train collisions at rural crossings, multi-death incidents involving horse trailers, cattle trucks or any large animal transport require respectful but expedited remains removal. We coordinate with fire/rescue authorities to extract remains legally compliant with environmental regulations.
Disease Outbreak & Quarantine Response
In the event of serious contagious disease outbreaks at farms or facilities requiring mass depopulation and disposal, our team has the permitting, vehicle biosecurity measures and specialized training to safely contain and remove heightened risk remains.
Abuse & Neglect Case Rehabilitation
Tragically, there are also emergency scenarios involving severely abused, neglected or hoarding situations at illegal breeding operations or other illicit facilities. We work directly with law enforcement and animal control authorities to provide removal support and dignified aftercare services for any deceased animals caught in these horrendous cases.
While prioritizing compassionate removal services for more peaceful livestock and equine mortalities, Graver Horse Removal stands ready to deploy at a moment’s notice to any location requiring emergency animal remains collection and transportation. We have the resources and expertise to handle all scenarios professionally and legally.
