Bury it. If you chuck it on the compost heap or into a hedge, in a few
days it will start to smell vile.

Hundreds of thousands of grey squirrels and other small mammals die in the
wild every year. Scavengers eat most of them. If the corpse is left in a
hedge bottom, it probably won't be long before some opportunist creatures
take advantage.
