Smells like victory

Today, I discovered that the lovely, hunger-inducing smell that's been lingering around the office lately is from the local animal crematory. I've been wistfully inhaling the stench of burning cats, dogs, and other various animals. FML

how is the smell of animals cooking harmful in any way? you've never smelled cooked animal meat before? sure, it's from a different animal we're used to, but you get the point.

Today, I realized that the reason everyone in my family has been craving BBQ lately. The HUMAN crematorium behind my house is malfunctioning & spewing smoke & the smell of burning flesh. FML and believe it or not, NOT fabricated. Well, except the "today" part. I've been complaining to the health dept. for months. FYI, if there is ANY smoke or ANY smell, either their equipment is malfunctioning, or they're not getting the oven (whatever it's called) hot enough, usually because they're being cheap. And no, it doesn't creep me out that a bunch of dead people get burned up practically in my back yard. Sensitive people tend to see ghosts. I don't.

#68, you mentioned something that rings quite true -cremation, whether animal or human, should not smell like cooking meat. I've never smelled such a thing in any of the cremations I've done ; at worst, there was a burning smell in the cremation room afterwards, but nothing that would be comparable to cooking meat. The temperatures used in the retorts should be much too high for any 'cooking' process to take place, nearing 1000°C. So perhaps OP might notify the crematorium -who knows, it might be a malfunction (or just negligence, alright).

How in the world could burning cats and dogs smell good?

That's not really surprising and people shouldn't be bagging you out for it. It would just smell like cooking meat. I mean, how many of us have walked past a restaurant or fast-food place, smelt the food cooking inside (things like steak, chicken, pork - all animals!) and thought it smelled good? I don't see why 'cooking' dogs & cats would smell much different to cooking cows & chickens.

I think the fur, bone, and visceral organs burning at such high temps may be the concern not just the flesh.
