I have direct experience with this.
In college, I got a job on campus in their Environment, Health, and Safety department. Mostly, I just calibrated fume hoods in labs.
During my time there, a hippo at a nearby zoo passed away. I don’t want to be too specific because it can be a bit icky, but they essentially shipped it to us for incineration.
What a phone call that must have been. I'm amazed that a college would have a big enough incenerator!
I doubt that the incinerator was big enough, and that's what the "icky specifics" covers...
Doesn't sound icky. I would assume they used it for science. I'm surprised they burn them.
