Answer

Who is responsible for removing a dead animal from a beach in Mallorca?

Responsibility can be unclear at first, which is why some carcasses remain on the sand longer than they should. In practice, the municipality usually needs to coordinate the removal, sometimes with support from the coast guard or environmental services. If you find one, reporting it quickly is the most useful first step.
