Sentient beings deserve higher level of respect than the folks who displayed their 'creative humour' and 'social comment' at expense of this animal. In the north, we apologize for taking a life ... before we eat it. We have social rules about wasting the value of lives taken.
Were that an FLH owner's cadaver on the floor: would all the humour hold the same edge? ... yeah: it's just a Harley guy.

oldbike54 ~ I surrender and acknowledge being out of step with social norms (I also love my V7).
By the way: that parrot is NOT dead... its' sleeping.

A few years back, I had one pass away underneath my summer cottage. By the time I noticed, there wasn't anything worth disposing of, so I left him there. Used to freak the kids and grandkids out some fierce. My daughters claimed they couldn't sleep some nights with him right underneath. But he finally moved on a couple of summers ago when I had the foundation re-built. The contractor had a good laugh, or so he claimed, when he crawled underneath to look around and came face to face with Rocky grinning at him.
