You could probably just dig a hole and bury faster than the city will react.

This is not the solution because the Oakland has a service that is funded by the tax payers of Oakland that is suppose to send officers to remove dead animals from public property like curbs and streets. They no longer remove dead animals from your property but you still pay for the service. If you start doing their job like burying animals for them, you are being taxed and getting nothing for it. Allow these people to do their jobs or they need to eliminate Animal Control all together.

The City of Oakland Public Works Department has referred this issue to OPD ANIMAL SERVICES,. Please contact that department to follow-up (see "Other Helpful Links" at http://www2.oaklandnet.com/Government/o/PWA/Connect/ReportaProblem/index.htm#Links).
