Hey so here is the official US Department of Agriculture guide to obliterating animal carcasses with explosives, complete with diagrams. It has a very strong opening thesis.

What’s easier: dragging an 1100 pound horse carcass out of the woods, or carting in 50 pounds of explosives to obliterate it?

The document also has some very important tips you might not have considered Re: obliterating large animals.

Do you want to totally obliterate a large animal, or is acceptable to simply scatter the remains into more manageable pieces? Either way, you’re in luck! The numbers given above are for “partial obliteration and dispersal,” but if you truly do need to vaporize a horse, the USDA has you covered.

Side note, I’ve read the word “obliteration” so many times it has lost all meaning.

Anyway, I hope you find this information useful. Remember: there’s no use beating a dead horse when you can obliterate it instead!
