A large Napoleonic battle happens in a field by an important river. Men are buried, but what happens to the hundreds of dead horses? They're pretty hard to bury, but leaving them to rot hampers work in the fields and threatens to contaminate the water. Would armies bother to do something?
Or would they abandon populations to deal with the likely public health crisis they've just created? How would the locals even approach the situation?
A previous answer about horses injured in traffic accidents cites an article which says:
>Dead horses were extremely unwieldy, and although special horse removal vehicles were employed, the technology of the era could not easily move such a burden. As a result, street cleaners often waited for the corpses to putrefy so they could more easily be sawed into pieces and carted off.
I think the article concerns a later period; I doubt Napoleonic armies had "special horse removal vehicles". And by the time they putrefied, important agricultural work may have been missed and the water supply of cities may have been poisoned.
Was burial enough to prevent water contamination or did they have to be moved away from the rivers? What were the logistics of trying to bury/move that amount of large animals?
