and means for sealing the opening formed in one of the layers after an animal carcass has been placed in the cavity formed between the two layers. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A device for transporting animal carcasses, comprising: (a) a flexible, durable material, wherein flexible, durable material further includes at least two layers bound to one another, wherein a cavity has been formed at a predetermined location between the layers for receiving an animal carcass, and wherein an opening has been formed in one of the layers for accessing the cavity formed between the layers; and (b) means for sealing the opening formed in one of the layers after an animal carcass has been placed in the cavity formed between the two layers. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the shape of the device is substantially rectangular. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein grasping apertures have been formed at regular intervals near the outer edges of the flexible, durable material for facilitating handling of the device. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the flexible durable material is partially or wholly biodegradable. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the opening is substantially “C” shaped. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the means for sealing the opening formed in one of the layers further includes a zipper. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the means for sealing the opening formed in one of the layers further includes a slidable closure means. ### Claim 8 A container for transporting animal carcasses, comprising: (a) a flexible, substantially fluid-impermeable and gas-impermeable material, wherein the flexible, substantially fluid-impermeable and gas-impermeable material further includes: (i) a top layer bound at the edges thereof to a bottom layer; (ii) wherein the top layer and the bottom layer further define a cavity therebetween for receiving the carcass of an animal; and (b) an opening formed in the top layer of the flexible, substantially fluid-impermeable and gas-impermeable material for accessing the cavity formed between the top layer and the bottom layer; and (c) means for sealing the opening after an animal carcass has been placed in the cavity formed between the two layers. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The container of claim 8, wherein the shape of the container is substantially rectangular. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The container of claim 1, further comprising grasping apertures formed at regular intervals near the outer edges of the piece of flexible, substantially fluid-impermeable and gas-impermeable material for facilitating handling of the container. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The container of claim 1, wherein the flexible, substantially fluid-impermeable and gas-impermeable material is partially or wholly biodegradable. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The container of claim 1, wherein the opening is substantially “C” shaped. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The container of claim 1, wherein the means for sealing the opening formed in the top layer further includes a zipper. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The container of claim 1, wherein the means for sealing the opening formed in the top layer further includes a slidable closure means. ### Claim 15 A container for storing and transporting animal carcasses, comprising: (a) a flexible, substantially fluid-impermeable and gas-impermeable material, wherein the flexible, substantially fluid-impermeable and gas-impermeable material further includes: (i) a top layer bound at the edges thereof to a bottom layer; wherein the top layer and the bottom layer further define a cavity therebetween for receiving the carcass of an animal; and (ii) grasping apertures formed at regular intervals near the outer edges of the piece of flexible, substantially fluid-impermeable and gas-impermeable material for facilitating handling of the container; and (b) an opening formed in the top layer of the flexible, substantially fluid-impermeable and gas-impermeable material for accessing the cavity formed between the top layer and the bottom layer; and (c) closure means for sealing the opening after an animal carcass has been placed in the cavity formed between the two layers. ### Claim 16 (depends on 15) The container of claim 15, wherein the shape of the container is substantially rectangular. ### Claim 17 (depends on 15) The container of claim 15, wherein the container is adapted to transport that carcasses of small animals, medium sized animals, or large animals. ### Claim 18 (depends on 15) The container of claim 15, wherein the flexible, substantially fluid-impermeable and gas-impermeable material is partially or wholly biodegradable. ### Claim 19 (depends on 15) The container of claim 15, wherein the opening is substantially “C” shaped. ### Claim 20 (depends on 15) The container of claim 15, wherein the means for sealing the opening formed in the top layer further includes a zipper or a slidable closure means.
