I accept that can be the case when they are moving slowly and during the day. When it is at night and they take only a couple minutes to do a round trip, No they cannot see anything on the ground.

I also add that nearly every week day (4:30-5pm) I sit in my tiny back yard, and at least one, generally more copters fly east to west or west to east. Taking about 20 seconds each time. From what I can see from the ground, they are not News Helicopters.

It’s weird to argue this much over something that’s definitely not gonna happen, but also, a lot of people find the idea of a body fulfilling some kind of natural purpose or becoming part of a cycle very consoling and meaningful. No need to be so horrified at the mere suggestion some people might see mourning and death differently than you

Would I eat my pet? No. But that’s a ridiculous question. I don’t eat any animals of that class. Also these people aren’t eating the giraffe themselves. They’re feeding it to another animal.

Would I object to my pets corpse being fed to a lion? Of course not. That’d be absurd.

Also these aren’t pets.

And of course this didn’t happen. I’m just pointing out it’s no more morbid than anything in nature or anything the lion keepers do daily.

Edit I’ll point out many people are signing up to have their bodies turned into composte for trees and such: literally becoming food for plants. This seems to be a you problem.

That might be what I ended up with. There are signs, but that doesn't make people read them. It probably needs a more intense traffic engineering scrutiny. But the most southward block was recently repainted with lane guidance to push people toward the curb lane and that seems to have really helped.
