Controlled products include animal carcasses, parts of animal carcasses (including blood) and products of animal origin which are not intended for human consumption but exclude wild animal carcasses.

Dead pet animals may still be buried. Pet animals are defined as "any animal belonging to species normally nourished and kept, but not consumed, by humans for purposes other than farming".
