That is complete bullshit. Photos from satellites before the troon locusts showed up show it looked exactly like the neighboring properties and now it looks like somewhere you'd use for a Moon Landing hoax.
Like all things Tranch they probably said something close enough to the right thing but neglected to mention the Big 3 (money, time, hard work) and how they only kind of have one(+/-41%). As sad as it is to see the land fail like that, it's at least a positive indication Mother Earth's self-correction mechanisms are still working there. Soon the troons will leave and nature will heal.
I was curious to see if there is negative environmental effects of this and I found this
This review focuses on existing technologies for carcass and corpse disposal and potential alternative treatment strategies. Furthermore, key issues related to these treatments (e.g., carcass and corpse disposal events, available methods, performances, ...

So they're basically poisoned the area for up to 20 years in addition to the extreme desertification they've achieved. I wouldn't know how to be so damaging to the the land if I tried. Based on that journal article they may be able to add biochar to the remains to help absorb some of the contamination. It's probably too late to turn the carcass into biochar at this point.
This is very complex but, speaking in general terms, I think you're taking things a little overboard in your assessment. Unless they literally buried them directly over their pump there's either enough impermeable/filtering layers or enough distance that major concerns about water safety are averted. It's not like they are dying of poisoning from a persistent contaminant. It's likely malnutrition/knock-on issues. Nature has more or less "safely" dealt with significantly more regular biomass many times before. Anything nasty is racing against time and the elements denaturing it before it can do its thing.
Dirt/soil is also an exceptionally good filter. The bigger issue is removing your soiled dirt without contaminating all of the clean dirt surrounding it. It makes persistent pollution sites a potentially nasty positive-feedback problem. However in a bit of irony, in a few short years almost anything particularly bad will be denatured and that pocket of dirt will be a good source to start redistributing nutrients that land desperately needs. Whoever gets the land will probably need a dump truck for a day or two still (soil additives are 1-3 figures per-ton, transporting that dirt is where they get ya at like $1,500/day+gas surcharge).
If you properly locate, dig, and manage disposal pits you can even take advantage of this. The local skinning post where I hunt will process 100+ deer each season and the gut pits are "capped" every 2-3 years. It's in a dry place and there's several feet of clay between it and the water table. In 5-10 years that <1/2 acre pit will then be spread over a 200+ acre field where any nasties that survived before will certainly be denatured before being an issue. You do understand we mainly cannot just bury bodies now because of all the toxic shit we use to stop these natural processes right?
Imo the most infuriating things about the tranch is that they had the assumption that farming is some sort of idealistic fun time where all the animals are happy and everything is simple. It definitely isn't. Modern farming is a more of an industrial and scientific venture that is only profitable on a large scale or in extremely niche markets that take lots of skills and connections. Farming animals is orders of magnitude harder than plants also (usually) and farming also requires mechanical knowledge and general experience, which trannies usually don't have.
Them donating to "Mission: Wolf (a solar-powered nature center that provides a sanctuary for unwanted captive-born wolves)" just highlights their disconnected tranny idealism that doomed them. Most real farmers fucking hate wolves and coyotes and want them extinct tbh
Wolves don't deserve to be grouped with coyotes like that. They're important apex predators that are worth finding space to let them do their thing. Coyotes are just an oppossum's brain crammed into a roided out dog's body.
