Maybe a compromise could be reached by simply burying the animals rather than removing them fully. That way the nutrients would stay in the local ecosystem, but there wouldn't be any "unsightly dead carcasses".

Burying the carcasses would preclude that (and likely reduce access for other members of the necrobiome).
